Joy Morgan and producer Thor Finland are the forces behind the name, and as Sparrow released their debut album “Silhouettes and Skeletons” on the 2nd of November 2017.

Thor Finland and Joy Morgan’s musical collaboration goes all the way back to now-defunct hip hop trio Pelding’s album “Spine”, that the group released together with Joy Morgan in 2005. A critically-claimed album that resulted in the single “No Angel” winning the title of P3’s Ugens Uundgåelige, being nominated for P3 Guld in 2005 and a nomination at the Danish Music Awards in the category for Best Urban Release in 2006, amongst others.

It was in 2007 that Joy Morgan and Thor Finland first got a taste for the fruit of their musical collaboration, sewn from the same seeds that Sparrow would later germinate. A duo that has formed a musical blueprint with a unique DNA that is immediately unmistakable on first listen to their debut singe, “Earth and Sky”.
