Open Your Ears Wk 35


Talking like I'm falling down stairs - Sparkadia

Sparkadia was a four piece back in their early days but since have dispersed to just leave the brains trust Alex Burnett to run it as his own entity. Based out of New South Wales Alex has a penchant for writing beautiful indie/pop songs.

Jealousy came in at number 79 in Triple J's Hottest 100 in 2008 and along with the strong debut album allowed Sparkadia to tour the world as a support act for many big bands like Death Cab, Pet Shop Boys, Hot Hot heat, Vampire Weekend and Elbow. This has actually given them a bigger support base in Europe then here in Aus.

No youtube of the new single but it can be found on the myspace site along with their other three singles from the last album. I couldn't pick four better songs to show his talent so listen to them all


Alex also blogs and tweets a bit, if you're interested in music then he is frequently blogging about it here... sparkadia.wordpress.com
