An Only Sparrows reject, but sweet in its own right

Aussie singer-songwriting favourite Josh Pyke sent fans a freebie this afternoon, announcing the download of relatively new track that was written in Scotland by the ARIA-winning musician.

The song, titled Pressed Against The Crowd was recorded for the Only Sparrows full length, only to miss the cut due to the overall mood of the album – alas, fans still will get to taste this tune with the simple entering of a few details on his website.

Pressed Against The Crowd was played on the Variations tour a few years ago and reminds Pyke of his trip of Scotland which developed into the holiday of a lifetime in New York – essentially, a song about loving music and is a testament to any fan who has attended a Josh Pyke show.

In addition, Pyke's management have confirmed the release of new record in 2013, with all details yet to be named. Judging by his Facebook page, Pyke's well on his way to creating another full length, just over eighteen months since the release of Only Sparrows in 2011.
