RIP: Mark Linkous
Mark Linkous, best known as the leader of Sparklehorse as well as for collaborations with Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Daniel Johnston, Radiohead, David Lynch and Danger Mouse, took his own life on Saturday: New York Times / Pitchfork / Radio Clash / LA Times.
NPR is reporting that Dark Night of the Soul, his collaboration with Danger Mouse and David Lynch, (which we wrote about last year) will finally see the official light of day sometime this summer.
Legitimate bummer – both the “Dark Night of the Soul” and Fennesz collaborations from last year really had my ear.
