The Spark & The Fire LP Out Now, Nat’l Tour Continues!
“There’s something about the so-sweetly-sung and sad lyrics combined with up-tempo horns and major chords that really sticks.” – The A.V. Club
“…a unique sound that’s equal parts past-era and progressive.” – Lucky Magazine
“ …a progressive modern pop album, with thoughtful arrangements, catchy tunes, and singer Shirli McAllen’s sultry croon standing proud above it all. – KCRW, NPR
Los Angeles-based noir-pop quartet Leftover Cuties recently released their highly anticipated sophomore full-length album, The Spark & The Fire! A 12-track journey that swings from smoke-filled Bourbon St. speakeasies to quiet island getaways, the LP is now available via the band’s webstore, plus iTunes and other prominent digital retailers.
The Spark & The Fire album cut “Clarity” is one of the most powerful and touching songs on the album, and features the signature lush instrumentation the Cuties are renowned for. Delicately topped with McAllen’s irresistibly silky vocals, the motivational track is a beautifully melancholy lesson in gaining perspective.
Check out the “Clarity” MP3 where it premiered with American Songwriter or HERE. The band also recorded a spectacular live rendition at WFUV.
Following a wildly successful tour of the U.S. and Canada, the Cuties continue to give new fans their chance to catch their captivating live show with a string of electric dates through September. The band has performed alongside Pink Martini, Alabama Shakes, Shelby Lynne, Saint Motel, Kitty Daisy & Lewis, and many more.
