Watch: Sage Francis – “Love the Lie” (Co-Written by Sparklehorse)

“The first demos I worked on for this album were with Mark [Linkous],” Sage Francis told The Find of his new collabo-heavy LP, Li(f)e. “He was the first one who opened up and took the risk of sending me music that was actually for his own record, just to see what I could do with the music he makes.”

Not only are we hearing part of a composition conceived originally for the late Sparklehorse mastermind’s final works in the stop-motion video above, but this new Jim Foltice-directed clip features a robot love story (a theme close to my heart) to boot.
