Slouching Sparrows is the “glue wave” project of South American-born/England-based singer-songwriter Rohan Fitzpatrick—his Analogue Agaric blog shows he’s multi-talented. On this self-titled debut album you will hear twelve lo-fi tunes, recorded this year in various bedrooms and kitchens, using a 1975 guitar and a mountain of pedals, a smutty microphone and a Tascam 8-Track Digital Portastudio, but above all a good dose of courage and creativity. It is a fascinating search for an own musical identity, working with jangling guitar melodies, a vintage-sounding drum machine, pleasant vocals and relatable lyrics full of imagination. The result is more than appealing.

The self-titled Slouching Sparrows album is out now digitally, on cassette and CD, via Analogue Agaric Records.
