About Penny & Sparrow:
Beginning with 2013’s ‘Tenboom,’ the staunchly DIY pair Penny & Sparrow released a series of critically lauded records that garnered compari-sons to the hushed intimacy of Iron & Wine and the adventurous beauty of James Blake, building up a devoted fanbase along the way through relentless touring and word-of-mouth buzz. NPR praised the band’s songwriting as a “delicate dance between heartache and resolve,” while The World Café raved that they’ve “steadily built a sound as attentive to detail as Simon & Garfunkel and as open to the present day as Bon Iver.”Penny & Sparrow’s magnificent sixth album ‘Finch’ is titled as a nod to Charles Darwin, who developed his theory of evolution in part by study-ing the changes that manifested over time in groups of birds that moved to different islands across the Galapagos, and it’s easy to see the connection. The album finds the band reckoning with a prolonged period of intense personal transformation, a profound awakening that altered their perceptions of masculinity, sex, religion, divorce, friendship, vanity, purpose, and, perhaps most importantly, self. Deeply vulnerable and boldly cinematic, the resulting songs blur the lines between indie-folk and alt-pop, with dense string arrangements and atmospheric production underpinning soaring melodies and airtight harmonies. It’s a revelatory collection, both for the listener and the performers, one that’s been a lifetime in the making.

About OurVinyl:

Lyrics:
When my skin is done
Or my sickness fills the air
In my silent final prayer
My heart is yours
If your body creeks
And your broken bones are fears
No matter the years
My heart is yours
And I know I'll break down
And I know that you will crumble
But part of me's unending hear it say
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I do

Currently sitting at the hospital, waiting on my wife's surgery to be done. She walked down to the aisle to this song. Hitting a little harder today than it normally does but still so damn good.

Romantic? Sad as fuck? Why not both? - the Penny & Sparrow motto
.
Breathtaking as usual. I'm really loving these acoustic sessions.

Listened to their interview about the meaning of the song and listened with tears in my eyes. So powerful.

@OurVinyl - Do you have actual vinyl for purchase of these sessions?

[brigrants]

It was the comment about them being a little too good for me because yes, I know what you mean. Tell everyone you know. From the beginning, so many years ago, they’ve continually exceeded expectations. Do we deserve them? No, seriously... do we?

[YouscaremeJeremy]

I’m gonna have to stop listening to them, they are a little too good.
