LITTLE SPARTA
LITTLE SPARTA are a London based three piece featuring Alan D. Boyd, Susie Honeyman and Scott Skinner. They often work in collaboration with poets, painters, singers and film makers.
Described as ‘bittersweet and unpretentious’ by Pitchfork (7/10) for their first release Scalpel Slice (Fire Records) the band have continued to explore the out of the ordinary while maintaining the ‘Elegant, waning violins and craggy folkisms..” (NME) that have come to define their sound

The Telling of the Truth
The Telling of the Truth is the new single from Little Sparta. The band has once more joined forces with Mekons vocalist Sally Timms on a track that resonates with bright, rhythmic guitars from Alan Boyd, spiralling violin lines from Susie Honeyman and pounding drums from Scott Skinner.
The song finds Little Sparta in passionate, swaggering mode, delivering a wave of melodic thunder to beautifully complement Timms’s effortlessly cool vocals. BANDCAMP
Remembrance Day
The second single in a new series of music by Little Sparta, Remembrance Day is a cover of a song by Scottish singer-songwriter George Grant from his 1981 album Fragments of the World. Little Sparta drummer Scott Skinner – Grant’s nephew — assumes lead vocals on the track, a haunting meditation on love capsized by war. Get it on BandCamp. All streaming May 26
