“Beachwood Sparks pioneered the indie-country genre, pushing Americana into experimental territories with their fusion of twangy country vibes and psychedelic sounds. Their unique niche in the indie music landscape is marked by ethereal melodies and introspective lyrics, influencing countless artists and shaping the “weirder” side of Americana music.
Their albums “Beachwood Sparks”, “Once We Were Trees” and “The Tarnished Gold“, released under Sub Pop Records, have earned widespread critical acclaim. In 2024, Beachwood Sparks make a triumphant return with “Across The River Of Stars“, produced by Chris Robinson (Black Crowes). After a hiatus, they not only deliver new tunes but also grace the live stage once again.”
Their first official album in twelve years, and fourth overall, “Across The River Of Stars” finds the revived alt-country band Beachwood Sparks in sublime form. Produced by The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, it’s a nine-track journey of cosmic reflection and psychedelic pop, driven by soft and intricate performances throughout reminiscent of some of The Byrds’ or Wilco’s finest works.
