Forthcoming EP, LP, and general busy-bodyness

Posted by the lovely sparrows on Thursday, 17 of March , 2011 at 3:34 pm

Okay, so I’ve been slackin’ with the updates lately. BUT we’ve had a lot of good stuff going on… The original plan was to release a full length this spring, but we’ve had so many new songs- and older ones that we still wanted released- that the idea now is to quickly put out an EP. It’s looking like May. The EP will be mostly tunes I’ve had written for a while, that I want to get out there, as well as a couple of the newer ones that point in a slightly different direction.

The full length will be released shortly after, with the art book that we’ve been previewing forever.

If you’re in Austin, you should catch us at the Stem and Leaf Records showcase (yes, we’re still with ALR, but Stem and Leaf are good pals) this Saturday. We play around 4:00, and are excited to be sharing the bill with Joan of Arc.

Also, thanks for all the album inquiries and requests for touring. We will be hitting it hard and making the rounds supporting the forthcoming records.

Best,
Shawn/sparrows

p.s. come find us at . I’m slightly better about keeping track of that one.
