   About Sparrow
"Imagine walking into a subterranean lounge where candles light your way as you descend a narrow, uneven stairwell. With each step, you become increasingly enveloped in smooth, funky sounds that are dark, sexy, and a bit ethereal. Such is the sound and mood on Sparrow’s EP, View, where the female-fronted band offers songs that bring to mind the sound of Zero 7 tunes mixed with Sophie Barker and Sia Furler. Vocalist, songwriter and keyboardist on the album, Christine De Michele wears a number of hats, and she wears them well. She does not do it alone, though, as driving drums and swirling, echoing guitars offer great counterpoints." - Performer Magazine (Dec 07)
