About
Red Sparowes
Red Sparowes is a Los Angeles post-rock band comprising current and former members of Isis, Halifax Pier, Angel Hair and Pleasure Forever. Their sound is characteristic of soundscape-influenced experimental rock, with an otherwise uncommon extensive use of a pedal steel guitar.Red Sparowes formed in 2003 as another project for its members. Through signing to Neurot Recordings, Neurosis' record label, Red Sparowes toured with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Made Out of Babies in 2004 after recording demos for their debut album. The debut was recorded in late May 2004 by engineer Desmond Shea, with the resulting sound in the vein of guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer and Jeff Caxide's band Isis, Chicago post-rock/metal outfit Pelican, as well as bands as varied as Sonic Youth and The Cure. Members Jeff Caxide and Dana Berkowitz relocated in late 2004, thus forcing them out of the band.In 2008 Josh Graham parted ways with the rest of the band to pursue a musical project entitled A Storm of Light.Red Sparowes began recording new material with engineer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, Tool) in May 2008, and in August later that year the EP Aphorisms was released digitally. A vinyl version of this release is expected in Fall of 2009 in time for a short November tour with Russian Circles.
Red Sparowes began recording their third full length studio album with Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, Tool) on August 24, 2009. The album, entitled The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer, was released on April 6, 2010.
