Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, the fourth studio album by Sparklehorse, came out on Astralwerks on September 25, 2006, and it turned out to be the last album Mark Linkous released in his lifetime; he died in 2010. The Richmond, Virginia, band had always been Linkous's show, the singer and multi-instrumentalist steering it since 1995, and here he shared the producer's chair with Danger Mouse and Dave Fridmann.
It's a hushed, haunted-house kind of alternative rock record, fuzz and lullaby sitting side by side, with Linkous's voice drifting through like a signal from a far-off station. "Don't Take My Sunshine Away" is the sweetest thing on it, and the kind of song that makes you wish there had been more.
