notes

A companion piece to the 20th Anniversary reissue of Beachwood Sparks’s eponymous debut album, Beachwood Deluxe is a rare sonic glimpse at where the band was in 1999. Electric 12/6 string jangling guitars, sonic exploration and soft country psychedelia. The tracks are some of the only proper studio recordings to feature original guitarist/singer, the late Josh Schwartz. They were recorded by LP producer Michael Deming in Los Angeles during the group's hometown heyday before signing to Sub Pop Records and Josh leaving the band. Two of the tracks initially appeared on the April 99 Sub Pop Singles Club 7” but the others remained unreleased until now. An extra bonus on Beachwood Deluxe is the rare and remastered live recording from Green Bay in 2000, unearthed for the first time.
