Today, the critically-acclaimed duo Penny and Sparrow released their new album Finch via Thirty Tigers. The album is now available for purchase and streaming at all major retailers. NPR Music included the album on their All Songs Considered New Music Friday podcast, naming it one of their Top 6 Albums For August 2.
No Depression said, "If you're new to Penny & Sparrow, imagine some amalgam of Bon Iver's first record with shades of Iron & Wine, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, and/or James Vincent McMorrow. Stir in some spiritually searching lyrics, impeccable harmonies, imaginative melodic turns, and a slight R&B influence."
Recently, the band released "Stockholm," which Rolling Stone named one of the 10 Best Country and Americana Songs To Hear Now.
NPR's World Cafe premiered the album's single "Don't Wanna Be Without Ya" and called Finch, "...a collection of new songs that showcase the duo's celestial harmonies, songs with stories that unfold like wild, vivid dreams."
Paste said, "If Bon Iver had grown up around Waffle Houses and the kind of humidity so ruthless it makes oxygen feel tangible, he might have written 'Eloise.' But he didn't, so Penny and Sparrow filled the position for him."
