New Zealand songwriter / producer Lawrence Arabia returns with The Sparrow, the follow up to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Chant Darling. Venturing away from the harmony-laden, classic pop production of that release, The Sparrow is a more measured and minimalist work, drawing particularly on the influence of the symphonic late-sixties work of Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg.

“This will charm your socks off.” Q


“Effortlessly adroit song-writing… The sublime harmonies mark Milne out as a master pop classicist.” Uncut



“Boundless, history-spanning classic pop, swathed in the reverent haze of Girls or Beck… Respect due.” NME



“Classy, intelligent pop-rock… lyrically it’s fabulous.” The Times 



“An Absolute breath of fresh air… Lawrence Arabia has mastered the art of songcraft.” Artrocker 

“Yearning, horn and string-laced soul-glam pop with falsetto dash and arch twist… joining the dots between Jonathan Richman and Herman Dune… The results are sweet and wry, with mischief and wit leavened by charm and melody throughout.” The Independent



“Bursting with feel good melodies.” Clash
