Indie-folk duo Penny and Sparrow return with Lefty, their most adventurous album yet, out now via I Love You / Thirty Tigers. Known for their delicate harmonies and immersive storytelling, Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke push boundaries on this 20-track odyssey, blending folk intimacy with pop, electronica, and cinematic balladry.
Recorded in a friend’s garden shed, Lefty is a musical journey of raw emotion and lush soundscapes. The album’s lead single, “Breakdown”, is an aching meditation on anxiety and love. Other standouts include “Dogs of War” (feat. Joseph), a haunting folk ballad, and “Sea Foam”, which dips into ethereal, glitchy electronica. Whether leaning into poetic folk or expansive pop, the duo crafts an experience meant to be savored in full.
Over the past decade, Penny and Sparrow have captivated audiences worldwide, from sold-out shows at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville to performances across Europe. With Lefty, they showcase their evolution, embracing bold new directions while staying true to their deeply personal songwriting.
“Lefty is a collection of poetry, confessions, dream scenarios, and love letters,” the duo shares. “Every song is a piece of us, tied together by the things we love.”
