Red Sparowes
Red Sparowes est un projet que l’on doit à l’initiative de Josh Graham (Guitare), réalisateur de clips à ses heures et responsable par ailleurs des créations visuelles de Neurosis. Désireux de s’exprimer désormais par le son, il va s’entourer de Bryant Clifford Meyer (Guitare) et Jeff Caxide (Basse) qui officient chez Isis, de Greg Burns (Basse / Pedale Steel), ainsi que de Dana Berkowitz (Batterie). Formé en 2003, le groupe atterrit naturellement sur le label fondé par Neurosis, à savoir Neurot Recordings. Outre les relations amicales entretenues entre les différents groupes concernés, la musique de Red Sparowes ne s’inscrit pas moins dans la logique artistique du label : le rejet de toute forme de complaisance. Les musiciens pouvant se targuer d’une expérience certaine après qu'Andy Arahood (Angel Hair) et David Clifford (Pleasure Forever) aient remplacés Jeff Caxide et Dana Berkowitz, ils mettront très rapidement sur pied ce qui va devenir At The Soundless Dawn, leur premier album. Le groupe n’a pas eu besoin d’attendre sa sortie en février 2005 pour le défendre sur scène, en compagnie de groupes tels que The Dillinger Escape Plan, Made Out Of Babies, ou encore Pelican et Breather Resist durant l’été 2005. Par ailleurs trois splits suivent cette sortie. L'un avec Gregor Samsa, l'autre avec Grails, puis le dernier intitulé Triad avec Made Out Of Babies et Battle Of Mice, les deux groupes de la chanteuse Julie Christmas. Après cette tournée, le groupe se lance dans l'écriture d'un second album, Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun en 2006, puis repart sur les routes américaines et européennes aux côtés de Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. Parallèlement sort un disque live la même année : Oh Lord, God of Vengeance, Show Yourself!. En 2008, Josh Graham, le créateur de Red Sparowes délaisse le groupe pour son nouveau jouet musical : A Storm Of Light. Les membres restant ne se laissent pas abattre, recrutent Brendan Tobin (Guitare) et enregistrent l'ep Aphorisms avec l'aide de Toshi Kasai (The Melvins, Big Business, Tool), mais l'on sent bien que la fougue des débuts n'y est plus. En 2009, Emma Ruth Rundle remplace Brendan Tobin en tant que guitariste et Red Sparowes retourne en studio pour enregistrer The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer. Celui-ci sort en 2010 sur Sargent House
