I got an email recently from Travis over at Skybucket Records announcing that the Birmingham band Through the Sparks will soon be releasing a new record – Worm Moon Waning. As preparation, the band’s entire back catalog is available for FREE download for the next few weeks at the Through The Sparks link here. You’ve got to give ‘em an email address, but they’re promising not to bother you: “Don’t worry though, we won’t sell your email address or start sending you tons of spam. You’ll get a newsletter once a month that announces what we’re giving away that month. That’s it.”
I’ve downloaded all the band’s tracks and the songs I most recommend are:
- Lazarus Beach – Local Moon
- Lazarus Beach – The Final If and When
- Audio Iotas – Steady As You Go
- Audio Iotas – Picture
- Coin Toss – Coin Toss
- Coin Toss – Gap in the Spark
A quick aside, thanks to the Birmingham Weekly for quoting me in their February 25th “Eight Days” column.
