A wise wizard once said: “when in doubt, always follow your nose.”The last album from Penny and Sparrow,Olly Olly,was a work of revelation andliberation.A search for and an embrace of the self. I imagine they were left with a headscratcher ofa question: well, shit. Where do you go from there?Fortunately, they listened to the wizard and followed their noses backwards tofind theirway forward.Aiming to strip away pretense and invite experimentation, they commandeered a gardenshed from a friend and retrofitted it to make a twenty-track album that is vast, weird, andwholly unexpected.IfLeftyis anything, it is the journal of Penny and Sparrow’s inner child. Dog-eared, lockbusted open. On its pages the sketches of dreams, nightmares, erotica, and literary fanfiction graffiti the margins of poetry, elegies, and love letters in the wild colors ofsaxophone blue, electronic pink, and blood harmony red.Beautifully varied and richly rendered, it is an album that wanders from theme to theme,style to style, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything, it is at play.United by its intimate vocals and aching harmonies, its acoustic laments trickle intoethereal pop only to surge into whimsical ballads and crest into grand hooligan anthemsthat sway gently down to familiar shores where melancholic ballads tell of love lost,found, forgotten, and remembered.Andy and Kyle have written some albums in blood. Others they’ve whispered to the sea.This one they danced in the sky with smiles on their faces.Leftyfeels like not just acelebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre, but as if theyhave rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boysgrowing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.- Pierce Brown,author and friend
