Sparrow And The Workshop announce new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 8 October 2009
Folky trio Sparrow And The Workshop will release their second album, ‘Into The Wild’, on 23 Nov, through Distiller Records. They will precede it with a new single, ‘A Horse’s Grin’, on 16 Nov.
Way back in June, the band’s vocalist Jill O’Sullivan told us: “When we all started making music together it felt magical right away. I had a couple of songs and played them for [drummer] Gregor [Donaldson], and he started interpreting them really uniquely on drums, in a way I couldn’t have imagined. Then he started harmonising and I’ve never seen anyone who can harmonise so nicely. He also has a compelling voice, so the duets were born”.
She continued: “Nick [Packer, guitar] first got involved when we needed some bass on a song, but it quickly became evident that his amazing slide riffs, guitar parts and interesting bass lines elevated the music and sort of stretched our possibilities for playing and songwriting. So the three of us went ahead and started making music based on our individual strong points and shared love in music”.
The band are currently on a co-headline tour with Kill It Kid.
