From a recent review:
"Building on layers of dense droning sounds and various serene string arrangements that eventually culminates in massive crescendos, Sparrows Swarm & Sing bring forth, over the course of three tracks spanning nearly a half hour, one of the most pleasing offerings in the current post rock explosion. Quite simple if you are a fan of stuff like Godspeed! You Black Emperor and Von era Sigur Ros you need to check this record out. This record will relax you with it’s haunting structures, yet it will also shake you out of your haze without a moment’s warning with parts that can be described only as explosive." - UNDER THE VOLCANO MAGAZINE
