Last month we learned of the posthumous Sparklehorse album Bird Machine and heard its lead single, “Evening Star Supercharger.” Built from the late Mark Linkous’ recordings for a never-released Sparklehorse LP and finished by his brother and sister-in-law Matt and Melissa Linkous, the album also features last winter’s fuzzed-out “It Will Never Stop.” Today we get another preview in the form of lullaby-like, country-tinged slow jam “The Scull Of Lucia.” Like the last single, it features harmonies from Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle, who is a perfect match for this track’s vibe. Listen below.
Bird Machine is out 9/8 on ANTI-.
