Sparrows Swarm & Sing ..O Shenandoah Mighty Death Will Find Me (Magic Bullet)
With an album title like that, it..s easy to call Sparrows hokey or pretentious .. and at times they are. Imagine the post-rock of Explosions in the Sky or Mogwai, couched in Tom Waits-y multi-instrumentalism. From that strange synthesis grows a tension between rock and symphony that never quite gets resolved by the end of this 4-track, 79-minute epic. At their worst, the songs ramble for way too long. Still, the album is rife with dazzling sonics. ..Warm Blood Within,.. the first track to cohere in the symphonic sense, is breathtaking, revelatory. .. Dan Barry
