Formed in 2005 by singer/songwriter Shawn Jones (Something Happened, Larks &Owls) and a revolving cast of several longtime friends, The Lovely Sparrows is the culmination of over a decade of musical growth and collaboration. With The Lovely Sparrows' debut LP, Bury The Cynics, Jones has pened his most accomplished and ambitious songs to date.
Meticulously written and recorded over the last year, Bury The Cynics marries lyrical pop sensibilities with Jones' formal composition training. Bury The Cynics is set for release on July 8th, 2008 by Abandoned Love Records and The Rebel Group.
press quotes
They have enough catchy melodies and intriguing stories to pull in any fan of good music. The EP is filled with lush yet intimate arrangements, making for one of the best listens you will have this fall. -- The Tripwire
I submit to you another reason to pay attention to Austin - The Lovely Sparrows. Sparrows frontman Shawn Jones has collected five endearing indie folk tunes in Pulling Up Floors, Pouring On (New) Paint, an EP that doesn't demand your attention, it asks politely. -- Daytrotter
Top-notch, tastefully polished indie-pop might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of the hip little oasis that is Austin; the Lovely Sparrows are working to change this. And if the harmonies (think Jose Gonzalez), rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics of Pulling Up Floors, Pouring On (New) Paint are any indication, they just may succeed. -- Harp
