About Me

Broken Sparrow Records is currently the proud home of Nat Baldwin , Testface and The Hotel Alexis . We have also re-issued the first three albums by M. Gira's fantastic post-Swans band, Angels of Light in super limited, very snazzy vinyl editions.
Please enjoy these additional downloads by our artists:
TESTFACE "Go Calligraphers"
THE HOTEL ALEXIS "Comeback Kid"
NAT BALDWIN "Wake Up It's Time To Rise"
Visit www.brokensparrow.com to download more tracks by our artists, see tour dates and reviews, and of course, buy our albums.
We have several projects in the works for the coming months, not the least of which is the long-awaited second magnum opus from the Hotel Alexis, entitled "Goliath, I'm On Your Side". Visit the Hotel Alexis myspace page for sound clips to tease you until it's out. You will be able to pre-order the release from our website this fall.
We also have plans for a limited, unique CD/DVD set from the Great Invisibles .
The set will be shipped in individually numbered, hand-collaged packages that echo the drone-folk and children's-toy orchestrations found within. You, as the consumer, will have the option of enjoying the music as an audio experience only, or as an audio/video extravaganza with the finger-picked dronescapes forming the haunting score to a short film by Michael Winters.
Additionally you will soon be able to purchase several t-shirt designs from our site, including operation runway style designs from the Hotel Alexis and Nat Baldwin.
As always, we hope you enjoy our music. We are constantly striving to release only the most honest, beautiful and compelling products that we are able to. Please continue to check back, as more content will be added as it becomes relevant.
As always, feel free to email us with any comments or questions.
