I’ve always had a fondness for sparrows, and I’m quite fortunate that I get to see them very often in my area, especially when I go for walks on the Bay Trail and pass by grassy knolls where sparrows dart around like aerial acrobats, diving at great speeds then twisting and swooping back up into the air. One year ago, Sydney’s Sparrows fascinated and enthralled me in much the same fashion on Get To Know You, a whimsical and fantastical future pop styled gem with a soulful, artsy flair. The intriguing talent now returns with Over & Out, giving us a jungly romper of a house pop jam that pairs the dance heat of SOFI TUKKER with the punchy spice of Sylvan Esso and some of the dancehall charm of Santigold. Sparrows self-produced the addictive prancer, described on Soundcloud as having been built from a chopped up iPhone recording into a pulsing chrous of layered, shimmering vocals.
