Talented multi-instrumentalist frontman of Sparklehorse, one of my favourite bands, has shot himself.

I was really looking forward to a new album from him sometime soon. He only released four albums with Sparklehorse and all of them are fantastic, dreamy, lysergic pop straight out of the top drawer.

Anyone who's missed them and wants to investigate should start with either Good Morning Spider or Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, then It's A Wonderful Life and then Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot. There's a whole wealth of brilliant music contained therein.
