This Is Sparklehorse

"This Is Sparklehorse" is a documentary that delves into the life and music of Mark Linkous, an influential figure in the alternative music scene. The film explores the highs and lows of his art, navigating themes of depression, creativity, and personal struggle. Through a mix of delicate pop, discordant punk, and melodic odyssey, Sparklehorse's music is presented as defiantly surrealist, with references to smiling babies, organ music, birds, and celestial bodies.
