About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Alabama indie band Through the Sparks produce a stew of ramshackle but ear-pleasing guitar pop on Lazarus Beach. There's something likable yet wobbly about Through the Sparks' quirky vision, but when they are able to right themselves (like a child's first unsteady ride on a bicycle), they offer up bright and sophisticated moments, such as on the lounge-lite, bouncy "Mexico (Every Last Buffalo)," which seems to decry the imperialism of yuppie housing developments against moaning organ and a well-intentioned (if slightly sloppy) reverbed guitar run. "L. Roi" takes up more serious matters, offering up a tale of suicide against a slightly smudged but altogether bright musical landscape. Everything is a little rough around the edges on this home brew of eccentric indie pop, but the bright moments shine enough to expose the strong collective will and songwriting beneath it all. And there are enough grand moments to generate interest. ~ Erik Hage, All Music Guide All Music Guide

June 09, 2007: Pitchfork boasted the talents of this Alabama band last month, so upon their rec, I decided to buy a copy. Imagine my excitement when it turned out to be a retreat for my soul. Breezy, whimsical, and full of feeling, this quickly went to the top of my play list. Check it out.

June 02, 2007: THROUGH THE SPARKS presents a new style for musical observers. Lazarus Beach is a unique cliche-less place where retro pop and 2lst century Americana ride a happy surf board above waves of tragedy and malaise. Never mind that it rocks you to sophistication.
