Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following a near-death experience, Mark Linkous crafted 'Good Morning Spider', a deeply lonely and eclectic indie rock masterpiece. The album shifts between raw, noisy slacker rock and fragile, melancholic folk, resulting in a bittersweet and profoundly existential collection of lo-fi chamber pop vignettes.
