Indie folk singer/songwriter duo Penny & Sparrow rose out of Austin, Texas in the early part of the 2010s, combining rich harmonies and a modern sensibility inspired by acts like Bon Iver, the Swell Season, and Mumford & Sons. After honing their sound with a few indie releases, they signed with Southern indie Single Lock Records and issued a trio of well-received albums including 2016's Let a Lover Drown You and 2019's R&B-influenced Finch. They kicked off the next decade with both a live and remix album before issuing new material on 2021's Need You EP.
