The Los Angeles folk-rock group known
as Desert Sparrow have released their latest EP, “City of Dreams.”
The album contains three original tracks for an approximate total
listening time of 15 minutes. It has been proudly published as an
independent release outside the direction of the corporate music
industry. Sonorous, rural, and with roots wrapped deep in the rock
'n' roll tradition, “City of Dreams” from Desert Sparrow is an EP
sure to resonate with fans of many music genres.
Hailing originally from Sydney,
Australia, Desert Sparrow cite as main artistic influences '60s rock,
folk music, spaghetti westerns, and surf rock. The resulting amalgam
is a rhythmic, highly narrative experience which paints images of
solitude and hardship, independence and perseverance on backgrounds
of hardpan deserts and windswept plains. Their sound often recalls
moments from groups like Fleetwood Mac, Kings of Leon, and Angus &
Julia Stone.
Desert Sparrow write that their new
album chiefly describes “Moving to the big city to follow your
dreams and the hardships that follow.” They also note that it's
about “accepting change, walking away from the bad and embracing
the good,” as well as “cutting ties with old friends, moving
forward, and taking risks.”
Desert Sparrow are Kylie Adams and Dave
Carreno. Also appearing on their new record is guitarist Robo Hryn.
Their “City of Dreams” EP is preceded by their 2014 EP, “Leave
this Town,” the popularity of which preempted the group's move from
Australia to Los Angeles.
Desert Sparrow's self-produced EP was
engineered at Station House Studio in Echo Park, CA by Mark Rains
(Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Shooter Jennings) and mastered at
Sterling Sound, NY by Greg Calbi (Tame Impala, The War on Drugs, Kurt
Vile, Noel Gallagher, Keith Richards). It features cover art and
photography by Ian Maddox.
“City of Dreams” by Desert Sparrow
is available at over 700 music stores online worldwide beginning 24
June 2016.
