Sparkadia-- The Great Impression

OK! Good Records

Today's song is the title track from Sparkadia's 2009 album The Great Impression.  This song is short and has such an ambiance about it-- a mix between reflective and mysterious-- and goes well with the overcast Monday here in Ithaca. Sparkadia was originally a four-person band, forming in 2004 and releasing Postcards in 2008.  The Great Impression was largely made by Alex Burnett, the last standing member, in collaboration with
Mark Tieku, who is known for his work with Florence and the Machine.

On Another Note: The eyes on the cover, along with the title, reminds me of The Great Gatsby.
