2007, Skybucket Records
The members of Through The Sparks taught themselves to play music together in high school, when "Blues Before Sunrise," the Band, Blue Oyster Cult, the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, ELO, Neil Young and Steely Dan were the soundtrack to Canadian whiskey-swilling sing-alongs in the Alabama kitchens of any out-of-town parents with unwarranted confidence in their children's judgment. The band members pooled their pile of beat-up pianos, organs and 8-tracks and began recording. Lazarus Beach marks their first full-length effort.

Customer Reviews




Alec NiedenthalThere's a beacon of hope for rock music--it's "Through the Sparks". Sure, that sounds a bit hyperbolic, but listen to the record and tell me any different.
This is one of the year's best. Lazarus Beach is an excellent record, one of the year's best. Taut musicianship meets prudent songwriting and evocative lyricism. What more could you ask for? This is indie rock at its finest. The guys at Skybucket keep putting out knockout after knockout. This is a must-buy if you're a fan of heartfelt, earnest, poignant, but not overly sentimental, cleverly catchy indie.
