This Is (Also) Sparta!


Sleepercar is the side project of Jim Ward, the vocalist and mastermind of Sparta. And of course, member of the legendary At The Drive-In. (But come on, you should know that stuff already...)
So, Sleepercar is according to Wikipedia an alternative country project. Fortunately (even if the world alternative makes it believable), the album has little to do with country and could easily be another Sparta album. Maybe one with b-sides. But the characteristic voice of Ward is there, as well as the sentimental chords and melodies that he always gave us with Sparta.
This album made my day today and I listened to it in the back- and in the foreground many times. Well done, Jim.
Don't paddle away...
