Song Sparrow Research
“Amazing work on the record! Going to be hearing that a LOT on the Morning Show.” - John Richards, KEXP
“This Seattle band’s second album is an often-gorgeous set of folk-tinged chamber-pop, with a lush, beautifully crafted sound combining warm har- monies, jangly guitars, cello, glockenspiel and more on songs ranging from propulsive pop-rockers to wistful, atmospheric ballads.” -Don Yates, KEXP Music Director
“To our ears, this music sounds like the summer of 2012. Wonderfully tuneful, rhythmically visionary, and lyrically thrilling. It just sounds so fresh and fits perfectly between the major label stuff.” -Jeff Hanley, KZAM.net
“Diggin’ the dreamy, folk-pop sounds of Seattle’s Song Sparrow Research.” -CD Baby
“Loose, dreamy pop and lush, sweep- ing melodies mark the second release from this local five-piece, recalling the delicate arrangements of Beirut and Travis, and sometimes, the driving indie anthems of The Strokes.” -Gwendolyn Elliott, Seattle Weekly
“Song Sparrow Research’s quintet of musicians reaches orchestral proportions through the interplay of multiple instruments to include some plucky electric bass work, cello backing, synthesizer sounds, Boyce’s own moody vocals, and a ton of glockenspiel (oh, the glockenspiel) for an atmospheric tone. You’d think a bunch of sym- phonic arrangements by a birdwatcher from the Northwest would cloud up and grey over like the Seattle sky, but Boyce must also possess some knowledge of the miracle of flight, because this album soars the whole way through.” -Sean Jewell, The Stranger
