Sparklehorse Good Morning Spider Lyrics

On previous outings, Sparklehorse mastermind Mark Linkous was weird, but his recent near-death experience has rendered him weird and morbidly effervescent, a combination he puts to good effect on Good Morning Spider. A sonic collage of fractured pop songs that cut, stop, meander, rage forward, and sometimes disappear, it's a brilliant, complex, and emotional album, despite the fact that it's destined for obscurity. --Tod Nelson
