Two Wings + Little Sparrow

Trailing their second album, A Wake, released by Tin Angel Records in 2014, Glasgow-based quintet Two Wings release the single Peace-Fear.

Two Wings were formed in 2009 when singer/multi-instrumentalist/visual artist Hanna Tuulikki and guitarist/singer Ben Reynolds finally sat down and wrote a song together after years of crossing paths in Glasgow’s ever-fecund left-field music scene(s). Tuulikki’s experimental song-based project Nalle was described by Wire Magazine as ‘easily some of the most convincing free-folk the UK has ever produced’. Tuulikki was also a member of free form jazz folk ensemble Scatter and the Family Elan. Reynolds’ numerous releases as a solo artist include the 2009 solo guitar album How Day Earnt Its Night, released by New York’s Tompkins Square Records. Reynolds was also a guitarist in critically acclaimed psych-folk band Trembling Bells, and has collaborated with Alasdair Roberts and Baby Dee.

Two Wings became a roaring, raucous beast of a band, and most of the fruits of Reynolds and Tuulikki’s song-writing partnership appeared on their debut album Love’s Spring, released on Tin Angel Records in 2012. Now, with Peace-Fear presaging A Wake, Two Wings look set to soar once more.

Support comes from Little Sparrow. Singer-songwriter Katie Ware adopted the name Little Sparrow about three years ago as she felt it characteristic of the sound she was beginning to create and the direction in which she wished to travel. Drawing upon influences as diverse as Kate Bush, All About Eve and PJ Harvey she creates songs that are filled with a blend of styles, woven into the colourful tapestry of her music, often with a mysterious fairy tale quality.
