Los Angeles, California, United States (2003 – present)

Red Sparowes is a post-rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, United States, comprising current and former members of Isis, Neurosis, Halifax Pier, Samsara, Angel Hair and Pleasure Forever. Their sound is characteristic of soundscape-influenced experimental rock, with an otherwise uncommon extensive use of a pedal steel guitar.

Red Sparowes formed in 2003 as another project for its members: Bryant Clifford Meyer, Greg Burns, Josh Graham, Jeff Caxide, and Dana Berkowitz. Andy Arahood and david clifford joined the band after the release of Red Sparowes’ debut album, At The Soundless Dawn, as replacements for departed Caxide and Berkowitz respectively.

Through signing to Neurot Recordings, Neurosis’ record label, Red Sparowes toured with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Made Out of Babies in 2004 after recording demos for their debut album. The debut was recorded in late May of 2004 by engineer Desmond Shea, with the resulting sound in the vein of guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer and Jeff Caxide’s band Isis, Chicago post-rock/metal outfit Pelican, and New Zealand post-rock band Jakob. Members Jeff Caxide and Dana Berkowitz relocated in late 2004, thus forcing them out of the band.

Red Sparowes’ first studio album, At The Soundless Dawn, was released in February of 2005, following guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer’s other band, Isis, in their initial tours in support of Panopticon. Shortly after this release, a split 12” was released with Gregor Samsa.

That's weird... I have the studio album version (8 min) and a live version from "Oh Lord, God of Vengeance, Show Yourself" (14 min). I've never heard of a 45 minute version. Is there music all the way through?

the track ""Finally, As That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was the Voice of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves" on my edition goes for 45 minutes while the booklet only says 8 something.. is this normal? ;/

Yes, Pelican's new record, in keeping with their previous material, is excellent. I find Pelican to be in a completely different vein of post-rock than Red Sparowes, though. Here's a question for you: Why on Earth are you in so many post-rock band pages asking ppl what they think about Pelican and their new record. ?

I see that last.fm thinks Pelican is the #1 similar artist for Red Sparowes...I can't help but agree. has anyone checked out their new record?

Right, we need new materials and I want to see them live again! "We Left the Apes to Rot, But Find the Fang Grows Within" <3

there definitely won't be a problem with that: A new (female) guitarist, new producer(Toshi Kasai) and songs with vocals. Even if they didn't do any of those things, any new materiel from these guys would still knock my socks off

They're in serious danger of becoming completely redundant if they don't change things up a bit on the new record.

the sheer beauty of this music makes me feel things that I didn't know I could actually feel. this is why this band is by far my favorite I've found in this genre. they create soundscapes that are unparalleled by contemporaries and do it brilliant fashion.
