Recently received in the mail, was the debut EP for Austin, Texas band The Lovely Sparrows.
Consisting of 5 tracks Pulling Up Floors, Pouring on (New) Paint is quite a delight. The band only formed in 2005 and judging by this release they look to have a bright future indeed.
Using quite a few instruments including banjo, mandolin and flute they have blended a unique piece of pop that has many layers. The vocals from Shawn Jones and Lauryn Steinburg are warm and laidback making for a extremely pleasant listening.
MP3: Chemicals Change. You can buy here.

Have also been listening to new records from The Thermals, Someone Stills Love You Boris Yeltsin and Catfish Haven which i intend to review shortly.
