After a 12 year hiatus, Beachwood Sparks return with a long-awaited new album, “Across The River Of Stars,” produced by Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes). The lineup features original members/founders Chris Gunst (Guitar/Vocals), Brent Rademaker (Bass/Vocals), and Farmer Dave Scher (Lap Steel/Keys/Vocals), along with Ben Knight (Guitar), Jen Cohen Gunst (Keys/Guitar) and Andres Renteria (Drums). Featuring their blend of cosmic Americana and dreamy melodies, the band will also grace the live stage once again, with their unique and often mesmerizing performances.
The single, “Torn In Two,” is out today, and showcases the band’s signature Western swing and the blend of soft, expressive vocals of Chris Gunst, cresting with a triumphant guitar solo that electrifies the soul. With Chris Robinson’s seasoned touch, the track captures the raw energy of Neil Young’s Zuma era, while weaving a narrative of West Coast environmentalism. The band’s return is marked by both familiarity and evolution. The accompanying video features animation by Mark Neeley and you can watch that below….
