A wise wizard once said: “when in doubt, always follow your nose.”The last album from Penny and Sparrow,Olly Olly,was a work of revelation andliberation.A search for and an embrace of the self. I imagine they were left with a headscratcher ofa question: well, shit. Where do you go from there?Fortunately, they listened to the wizard and followed their noses backwards tofind theirway forward.Aiming to strip away pretense and invite experimentation, they commandeered a gardenshed from a friend and retrofitted it to make a twenty-track album that is vast, weird, andwholly unexpected.IfLeftyis anything, it is the journal of Penny and Sparrow’s inner child. Dog-eared, lockbusted open. On its pages the sketches of dreams, nightmares, erotica, and literary fanfiction graffiti the margins of poetry, elegies, and love letters in the wild colors ofsaxophone blue, electronic pink, and blood harmony red.Beautifully varied and richly rendered, it is an album that wanders from theme to theme,style to style, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything, it is at play.United by its intimate vocals and aching harmonies, its acoustic laments trickle intoethereal pop only to surge into whimsical ballads and crest into grand hooligan anthemsthat sway gently down to familiar shores where melancholic ballads tell of love lost,found, forgotten, and remembered.Andy and Kyle have written some albums in blood. Others they’ve whispered to the sea.This one they danced in the sky with smiles on their faces.Leftyfeels like not just acelebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre, but as if theyhave rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boysgrowing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.- Pierce Brown,author and friend

Cece Coakley - 

Cece Coakley is a rising singer-songwriter living in Nashville, whose music blends indie pop, folk, and country influences into a heartfelt, melodic sound. With introspective songwriting and a laid-back vocal delivery, Coakley has quickly made a name for herself in the indie music scene and a revered artist and songwriter.

Her 2022 debut EP, Tender, was written while she was living at home with her parents in Knoxville Tennessee, a time of deep personal reflection and creative growth. She has since gone on to release two projects Happy Adjacent & Soft Again following her move to Nashville.

Coakley has spent most of her budding career on the road supporting artists such as Medium Build, Stephen Sanchez, Field Guide, and most recently Hazlett and Nell Mescal. Touring allowed her to connect with audiences across the country, further developing her artistry and confidence as a performer.

Coakley is set to release her next EP on March 6th titled, Pleasant Attack, which includes songs “Pleasant Attack,” “Marionette,” “Personified” and “Future Tense” among others. Coakley’s EP was produced by her frequent collaborator, Sam Westhoff.

With her distinctive blend of indie pop and country-tinged storytelling, Cece Coakley is proving to be one of the most compelling new voices in the indie-folk scene, carving out a path that feels entirely her own.
