Watch: Sparrow and the Workshop – The Faster You Spin [Best Fit Premiere]
Glasgow three-piece, Sparrow and the Workshop, aired the second single from the Murderopolis LP last month. Powered by a stomping, brazen guitar riff and Jill O’Sullivan’s searching vine-like vocals, ’The Faster You Spin’ is as stylish and sinewy as alt-rock off cuts come.
The accompanying visuals are decidedly more sleazy: documenting the antics of a gaggle of call girls – or rather some middle aged men dressed up and donning politicians masks – as they spend a night fighting, flicking the V’s at one another and failing to secure any business in the process. The best bits? SNP’s Alex Salmond being chastised into leaving by the coalition is trumped onky by Bush and Blair arriving to double bitch-slap Vince Cable to the floor. Sublimely silly.
‘The Faster You Spin’ and Murderopolis are both set for release on 27 May via Scottish indie Song, By Toad Records.
