Praise the Twilight Sparrow

Raw bone, emotional and dreamy, reminiscent of moonlit southern woods or days gone by in silent fury and speechless awe, PTTS defends a minimalistic approach and a firm rooting in folk music twisted as mad love or untold dreams. Fronted by Pascal Hallibert, PTTS is an offshoot of Dutch indie combo Templo Diez (SXSW 2003, CMJ 2006, among others...) and is based in Bordeaux, France, Amsterdam, NL, and LA, USA with an ever-changing lineup, depending on the songs, the seasons and the general state of their friendship.

On tour, when not operating solo, PTTS often relies on its 5-piece French/Dutch core team and a sound reminiscent of tradition and danger. After a US tour in march 2007 (including a SXSW showcase), they're currently busy recording their debut album.

As of Spring 2010, Praise The Twilight Sparrow have released their debut full length album, Color Map of the Southern Sky. Less haunting and whisper-y soft than the 2007 EP, the new album is just as lovely and charming.
