covermed.gifSo, some of you know we’ve been working on a new record (no foolin’, we really have). After the theft of my laptop-which included several completed tracks, my house flooding, and about a hundred other things that slowed down it’s release, we are super excited to announce that July will see the 3rd release from The Lovely Sparrows. It’s our first full length album, and we’re calling it Bury the Cynics. It will be released on both compact disc and vinyl. We’ve posted a track over on the Audio/Video page called Department of Foreseeable Outcomes that I hope you’ll enjoy. It’s one of the more “patient” tracks on Bury the Cynics, and I think it serves as a good introduction to the album. Not so much a “HELLO! PLEASED TO MEET YOU!” as a “Do come in and stay for a while. No the dogs don’t bite. Yes, you may have a cookie.” But, if you want to read something bordering on pretentious I wrote about the album to give the artist designing our album art, Derek Van Gieson, a feel for it before I had any songs finished, you can find that on the About page, under the “official” bio.

New Website! New record coming soon!

Posted by the lovely sparrows on Saturday, 22 of March , 2008 at 6:58 pm

AND said record (finally) has a title! Whew. The forthcoming album is called… Bury the Cynics! We’re really excited about this one. It will be a 10 song cd (released by Abandoned Love Records and the Rebel Group), and there will be a vinyl release with extra goodies! Please bear with us as we update and switch over the website. It’s long overdue. We’ll be tweaking it and adding some new tracks from the record over the next couple of weeks.
