I Used to Be a Sparrow is an alternative rock band based in Västerås, Sweden.[1] The act mainly consists of Andrea Caccese and Dick Pettersson,[2] and has so far released two studio albums, the second of which is entitled "You Are An Empty Artist.[3][4]
Album history
Pettersson, who had worked in the band "In These Woods", and Caccese, who was performing under the name "Songs for the Sleepwalkers",[5][6] met at a local concert venue in late 2011. The pair began working together, producing and distributing their debut album Luke under Caccese's imprint, Paper Wings Music.[7]
Luke was released in March 2012.[8] The album contains eleven songs and it includes influences from several genres of music.[9] The release of the single "Life is Good" led to the album being reviewed by a number of independent music blogs and online publications, as well as featured on Sveriges Radio[10] and MTV Italy.[11] Mainly positive reception led to re-issues over the spring 2012, including a British edition under Special Blend Records, a version for the Japanese market under Thistime Records, and a feature on Sound Supp.ly's drop 4.
I Used To Be A Sparrow went on a summer European tour in support of the album, performing in Germany, Italy, Sweden, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Belgium. The band performed at the 2012 Neapolis Festival in Italy.[12] and was one of several emerging bands providing music at the Giffon Film Festival.[13]
Later that year the group released a single entitled "Warpaint On Invisible Children" on UK magazine Clash Music.[14][15] A full album streaming of their second album, You are an Empty Artist, was then released on Italian independent music magazine Freak Out. A cassette version of the album was also released by Jeremy Records.[16]
In 2013, the band collaborated with the Italian band Fabryka to record the album "Echo".[17][18]
