Majestic, monolithically heavy yet full of light and air and structure, Red Sparowes’ music may have been informed by metal and hardcore, but it has ended up somewhere else entirely, exploring new territories of shifting dynamics and cinematic scope. – Popmatters.com
Los Angeles epic instrumental group Red Sparowes has posted a new song from its forthcoming Aphorisms EP (available digitally August 1, physical release date later this Fall) to precede European and U.K. tour dates in July. The track, available for streaming via the band’s MySpace page is titled, “We left the apes to rot, but find the fang still grows within.” The complete digital EP recorded with master engineer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, Tool, et al.) will be available for download in August from iTunes, and similar online retailers.
