This week we're discussing every album by Sparklehorse. Composed solely of singer/multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous, Sparklehorse specialized in the most gentle, heartbreaking indie you've ever heard. Eventually Linkous was joined by guest appearances by Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Iggy Pop, and Danger Mouse—whom he collaborated with on two albums—as well as others. Linkous later committed suicide in 2010.

Closing track: "Dog Door" from It's a Wonderful Life (2001)
