Description:
With the release of their second full-length recording, Once We Were Trees, Beachwood Sparks made clear their fondness for that first descriptor in the phrase, "cosmic American music." Once We Were Trees deftly blended ambient psychedelia with the So Cal country-pop of their 2000 self-titled debut.

Widely critically acclaimed, the album's "space-dusted, high-lonesome atmospherics," (LA Times) landed Beachwood Sparks on numerous year-end top ten lists. And, they spent the two months surrounding the release of the record crisscrossing the country playing both stadium-sized shows (opening for the Black Crowes; singer Chris Robinson is a big fan), and more familiar clubs with the likes of Love as Laughter and The Glands. In early 2002, the band headed back to Los Angeles and recorded new songs for Make the Cowboy Robots Cry.

In less than a year they have garnered an intense cult following. Beck hand-picked them to open for him at his 1999 Galaxy Concert.

This EP, boasting six new tracks, was recorded in Los Angeles in Febraury 2002 by Jimmy Tamborello and Scott Hackwith. Make The Robots Cry also sees the addition of some artfully placed bleeps and squeaks courtesy of the afore mentioned Mr. Tamborello.

Los Angeles singer/songwriter Mia Doi Todd makes a guest appearance on "Ponce de Leon Blues." Perhaps their most beautiful, wistful songs yet, this record finds the band pulling in more of their disparate influences, synthesizing past and present, sturm and twang. Welcome to a new version of
