The Second full-length from Southern California"s Beachwood Sparks, Once We Were Trees, finds the band expanding upon the psychedelic country rock of their self-titled 2000 debut. The new record was recorded with Thom Monahan at J. Mascis" studio in Northampton, MA (J. even plays on the record a bit). Plus, the new record features an amazing and sweetly torching version of Sade"s "By Your Side." Really.
