The Lovely Sparrows – Pulling Up Floors Pouring on (New) Paint
ALR05 – $8.00
|
Austin’s the Lovely Sparrows blend lush, complex arrangements with sing-along choruses that bring to mind glorious folk-inflected pop and well-written novellas. Pulling Up Floors, Pouring on (New) Paint, set for release by Abandoned Love Records, captures the gorgeous melodies and warm, organic maladies of lead Sparrow Shawn Jones. Friends as well as former, current and occasional members of the band contributed their talents to flesh out Jones’ songs of heartbreak, blunted resolve, and shimmering resignation. Pulling Up Floors, Pouring on (New) Paint was recorded both at Jones’ home and at Jesse’s Bed & Breakfast, a makeshift recording studio and erstwhile live music venue which quietly hosts much of Austin’s burgeoning underground pop and folk community.
