I Used To Be A Sparrow: Luke

ValerieJune 30, 2012

There's actually two people behind this dreamy electro indie pop number; I Used To Be A Sparrow is composed of Dick Pettersson and Andrea Caccese. Luke is an 11-track compilation that combines pop, alternative and a bit of indie all into one enjoyable fusion of sound. Even though "dreamy indie pop" tags are a dime a dozen these days, there are the occasional exceptions. This album is one of them. Released just last February 2012, this one is a great keeper, whether you love all out dance pop or slow acoustic tracks.
