  In October 1997, during the live recording at NPA titled "Hamering The Cramps," Sparklehorse was in a pivotal moment in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their debut album, "Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot," which came out in 1995 and gained critical acclaim for its unique blend of lo-fi aesthetics and melancholic soundscapes. By 1997, Sparklehorse was continuing to build their reputation as a distinctive voice in alternative rock. The band's frontman, Mark Linkous, noted for his introspective lyrics and innovative guitar work, brought a raw and emotional intensity to live performances, which is captured in this recording. This period marked a significant time for the artist as they were establishing their identity within the indie music scene, paving the way for future projects, including their acclaimed album "Good Morning Spider," released in 1998.
