Penny & Sparrow - Lefty - I Love You
Lefty is a cross-genre double-album from critically acclaimed indie band Penny & Sparrow. Of the album, they said, "We wanted to record a double album for the challenge of it, and also for the chance to be sonically rangy and eccentric. The idea of offering all sorts of sounds, structures, melodies, and lyrical approaches in 20 songs was creatively exciting to us, so we did it.
Lefty is a long collection of both real and made up things. We wrote poetry, true stories, literary fan fiction, horror, erotica, slice-of-life vignettes, dream scenarios, saloon conversations, elegies, a toast, a few confessions and at least two love letters.
All of them belong together because each one is an extension of us, of the things we love. We are the ties that bind Lefty."
