Patrick Shiroishi - The Sparrow's Tongue (2018)


Very excited to announce that my 6th solo record, The Sparrow's Tongue will be released next month via Fort Evil Fruit!!  It will feature poetry by my grandfather and recited by my mother.  Recording of the record was completed a little under a year ago and mastered by Alan Jones.  

In other news Danketsu 9 released a recording of our first show on Never Anything Records.  I'm very proud of what we did during our first meeting and hoping we will continue playing and releasing together.  Also, a vinyl release of the Simple Affections record will be out in the coming days via Recital.  Finally, an improv that was done during Jasmin Blanco's art instillation with Zachary Paul, Jason Adams & Derek Gaines was released via The Tapeworm.
