Red Sparowes is an American musical group based in Los Angeles. Their style is mostly instrumental and influenced by post-rock and post-metal, emphasizing experimental soundscapes and featuring prominent use of pedal steel guitar — an unusual instrument for these genres. Members of Red Sparowes have also been part of other bands including Isis, Marriages, The Nocturnes, Halifax Pier, Angel Hair, Neurosis, and Pleasure Forever. History Red Sparowes formed in 2003 as a side project for its members. They signed to Neurot Recordings, Neurosis’s record label. They recorded some demos for their debut album, and this led to tours with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Made Out of Babies in 2004. The debut was recorded in May 2004 by engineer Desmond Shea, with the resulting sound in the vein of guitarists Bryant Clifford Meyer and Jeff Caxide’s band Isis, Chicago post-rock/metal outfit Pelican, as well as bands as varied as Sonic Youth and The Cure. Members Jeff Caxide and Dana Berkowitz relocated in late 2004, thus forcing them out of the band. They were replaced by Andy Arahood on guitar and bass, and David Clifford on drums. Red Sparowes’ first studio album, At the Soundless Dawn, was released in February 2005, following Clifford Meyer’s Isis in their initial tours in support of Panopticon. Shortly after this release, a split 12″ album was released with Gregor Samsa.
