Critically acclaimed indie folk duo, Penny & Sparrow are thrilled to release their new single “Jeopardy” that is out now on all platforms along with a performance video of the single that can be viewed at https://youtu.be/6HUA_9nP_k8 . This video features an appearance by Tony Hale and inspired by Simon & Garfunkel.
“Jeopardy” is the fifth single release off the band’s new abum Lefty to be released January 31, 2025.
The band says, “Jeopardy is about knowing someone perfectly. It goes beyond tracking their needs & preferences & peccadillos. It grows into a kind of loving memorization where you can almost see the future. Whether it’s romantic, friendly, or familial, there’s something gorgeous about that kind of ‘knowing someone’.”
Penny & Sparrow produced the entire record with few songs co-produced by their dear friend, Jonathan Oliphant.
The album highlights the duo’s ability to craft a distinctive “indie acoustic” sound while seamlessly blending elements from various genres due to their and their exceptional songwriting skills.
In support of the new album, the band has announced Lefty Spring 2025 Tour. The tour kicks off in April 2025. Tickets are on sale now https://pennyandsparrow.os.fan/. See all tour dates below.
About Penny & Sparrow
A wise wizard once said: “when in doubt, always follow your nose.”
The last album from Penny and Sparrow, Olly Olly, was a work of revelation and liberation.
A search for and an embrace of the self. I imagine they were left with a headscratcher of a question: well, shit. Where do you go from there?
Fortunately, they listened to the wizard and followed their noses backwards to find their way forward.
Aiming to strip away pretense and invite experimentation, they commandeered a garden shed from a friend and retrofitted it to make a twenty-track album that is vast, weird, and wholly unexpected.
If Lefty is anything, it is the journal of Penny and Sparrow’s inner child. Dog-eared, lock busted open. On its pages the sketches of dreams, nightmares, erotica, and literary fan fiction graffiti the margins of poetry, elegies, and loveletters in the wild colors of saxophone blue, electronic pink, and blood harmony red.
Beautifully varied and richly rendered, it is an album that wanders from theme to theme, style to style, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything, it is at play.
United by its intimate vocals and aching harmonies, its acoustic laments trickle into ethereal pop only to surge into whimsical ballads and crest into grand hooligan anthems that sway gently down to familiar shores where melancholic ballads tell of love lost, found, forgotten, and remembered.
Andy and Kyle have written some albums in blood. Others they’ve whispered to the sea.
This one they danced in the sky with smiles on their faces. Lefty feels like not just a
celebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre, but as if they have rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boys growing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.
