UT Austin alums Andy Baxter and Andy Jahnke have been releasing music together as Penny & Sparrow for a decade. Revered for their poetic lyricism and ability to pull off acoustic gems and electronic meditations masterfully on the same album, Penny & Sparrow continue that tradition on their current album Lefty. An ambitious, twenty-song release weaving their most art-for-arts-sake sonic tapestry to date.
“Ketamine” is one of the group’s electronic outputs, featuring Grammy-nominated Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe lending his baritone talk-rap skills over Penny & Sparrow’s laid back, slow-tempo groove.
Penny & Sparrow plays the Paramount tonight.
