Make the Robot Cowboys Cry EP (Sub Pop). Review by Anton Wagner.
BEACHWOOD SPARKS MAKE THE ROBOT COWBOYS CRY EP Sub Pop If what I've been hearing about Beachwood Sparks weren't enough to get me to listen to this, the Jim Woodring artwork on the cover would have guaranteed it. What is within this EP is music that fits the title well, a set of mostly-melancholy, somewhat ...

Once We Were Trees (Sub Pop). Review by Sean Slone.
BEACHWOOD SPARKS ONCE WE WERE TREES Sub Pop The VW van on the back cover and clever song titles like "Ballad of Never Rider" give you an idea of where Beachwood Sparks were coming from on their 2000 self-titled debut album. Combining the late '60s California country/rock sound of The Byrds, Flying ...

... discordant. Rebar's "The Burn That is On Me" is heavy and makes me woozy. They also close the album with a pretty nice rendition of "Legalize It."

... measure. Their marvelous formula is similar to that of country troopers like Son Volt and Wilco, as well as younger guns the Pernice Brothers and Beachwood Sparks.

Twice (Rough Trade). Review by Sean Slone.

Like other indie-country parvenus, including Star Hustler, and to a lesser extent, Beachwood Sparks, The Trouble with Sweeney isn't as bound to Gram Parsons worship as the alt-country crowd is. Of course, Wilco tried to break the mold on "Summer ...

Stories Often Told (Yep Roc). Review by Sean Slone.
... Word" come alive. It sounds like prime Byrds/Flying Burrito Brothers/Gram Parsons. Plenty of bands that work this territory exclusively (hello Beachwood Sparks) come off as little more than Johnny One-Notes. But this is only one genre in The Sadies' bag of tricks. From there it's on to "Tiger Tiger ...
