#31 | SAM SPARRO | Boombox Eternal
Sparro, Inc. | Official Store

According to Quentin Harrison: “Boombox Eternal is a fine aural portraiture of a man possessed by the passion of the music of his youth and his desire to bring it into a contemporaneous context as an adult—without losing the exuberance of the former in the process. “Boombox Eternal made me reflect on the joy of listening to music as a child,” Sparro says. “When you’re young, especially when you’re a child, the way you hear music and experience visual stuff is so different because it’s all so brand new—you fall in love with music in a different way.” As with his canon antecedent to Boombox Eternal, Sparro uses this affair to continue to bridge the gap between yesterday, today and tomorrow, except this time his craftsmanship and spirit are in glorious sync. The resulting effort is incredible to experience.”
