Sparrow and the Workshop Announce Single and Tour Details

Glasgow-based three piece Sparrow and the Workshop have announced details of their up and coming single release and UK tour.

The indie-rock band will release a new single ‘Faded Glory’ on October 3rd through Distiller Records as a digital download, as well as a limited edition white vinyl copy which is backed with last year’s standalone single ‘Black to Red’, which previously had no physical format. The track was produced and mixed by Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno/Sam Amidon), and is the 2nd single to be taken from their recently released acclaimed album, ‘Spitting Daggers’.

The band completed a headline tour of the UK in early June and performed at various festivals over the summer, including Secret Garden Party, RockNess and London Calling (Amsterdam). The lead single from the album was play-listed on 6music and the band also performed a live session on the Lauren Laverne show. Even the image you see above (featuring the band standing in the middle of a lake) was shot by photographer Ben 'Pip' Seeds and has been shortlisted for the AOP Awards (Association of Photographers).

There is something gloriously new about the way Sparrow flit effortlessly between innocent simplicity and dark complexity, from ethereal softness to fearless post-rock crescendos at the drop of a hat. While they have been compared to bands as varied as Jefferson Airplane, Talking Heads and Black Sabbath, they have created their own unique sound by daring to ignore trends and fads and follow their own musical trajectory. The band will be playing various headlining UK and European dates in the coming weeks – and if you want to catch them on the road, check the dates and details below.

Thu September 15th 2011 - Slade Rooms, Wolverhampton
Sat September 17th 2011 - Lock 42, Leicester
