The long awaited follow-up to the Lovely Sparrows’ spectacular 2006 EP, Pulling Up Floors, Pouring on (New) Paint, will be released next month on Abandoned Love Records. The debut LP, titled Bury the Cynics, is equally lush, but lead Sparrow Shawn Jones seemed to have focused his vision much more clearly and shed some of the depressive weight of the EP. Bury the Cynics is still rife with a dark and dramatic humor, though, some of which is evident in the new video for the song “Year of the Dog.”
The animated video was done by Eric Power at locally based Clear Productions, transporting Jones to a fantastic paper world. The Sparrows are currently set to head up to the Northeast for a couple of dates at the end of the month, but will be back in Austin for a cd release instore at End of an Ear on September 13. You can also download the song “Department of Forseeable Outcomes” from our local quips.
