Biography
Los Angeles, United States
Los Angeles-based cosmic country-pop combo the Beachwood Sparks was formed in mid-1998 by onetime Strictly Ballroom singer/guitarist Chris Gunst, slide guitarist/keyboardist Dave Scher, ex-Further bassist Brent Rademaker, and Lilys drummer Aaron Sperske. Inspired by the pioneering country-rock efforts of West Coast legends like The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Buffalo Springfield, the group issued acclaimed singles for Bomp! (“Desert Skies”) and Sub Pop (“Midsummer Daydream”) prior to the spring 2000 release of their superb self-titled debut LP. Their polished sophomore effort, Once We Were Trees, followed in fall 2001.
They reformed in 2012 and released the 13 track LP “The Tarnished Gold”. It gets a 74 out of 100 points at Metacritic and it was rated a 7.7 at Pitchfork Media.
