The Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer maintains their layered arrangements and swirling amplified crescendos, Americana noir soundscapes (punctuated by the extended pedal steel on “In Every Mind”), and gloriously triumphant melodies (“Giving Birth to Imagined Saviors”). Earlier records focused on the larger scope of the album, but The Fear… is song-centered, with the individual tracks harboring stronger independent identities. Where previous endeavors found the band propelled by enormous walls of sound, they managed to temper their monolithic progressions with distinct passages of separated and soft-spoken instrumentation. Thunderheads storming across the prairie, outraged students taking to the streets, migratory herds stampeding along the tundra–any number of images could describe the grandiose scope of Red Sparowes’ lush vignettes. Wielding both a master’s sense of nuance and an outsider artist’s unhindered expressionist zeal, the Los Angeles quintet created a catalog of haunting and hallucinatory guitar orchestrations over the course of the millennium’s opening decade. With three albums, a string of split releases, multiple U.S. and European tours, and a number of line-up changes under their belt, Red Sparowes released their most focused release in 2010, The Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer. For Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer recording consisted of guitarist/keyboardist Bryant Clifford Meyer (Palms, Isis), bassist/pedal steel player Gregory Burns (ex-Halifax Pier), drummer David Clifford (ex-Pleasure Forever), guitarist/keyboardist Andy Arahood (ex-Angel Hair) and guitarist Emma Ruth Rundle (Marriages, The Nocturnes). The album was recorded August – September 2009 at Infrasonic Sound by Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, Tool). Red Sparowes have been dormant for the last decade but will be reuniting to headline Roadburn 2020 (date tbc now), curated by former Red Sparowes guitar player Emma Ruth Rundle.
