The story for this album is about a man investigating a serial killer (dubbed “The Architect” by the media) who has returned to terrorize a town after a 5 year hiatus from killing. Our protagonist is a huge, ogre looking man (one of those books that everyone judges by its cover) who wouldn’t hurt a fly but is constantly villainized by society due to his appearance. His only friend in the world, a hobo named Itchy Foot, is murdered in the park he sleeps in. This, along with an incompetent police investigation, motivates our main character, The Sparrow (a nickname given to him by his murdered friend, inspired by the way he would feed the sparrows in the park daily) takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of this serial killer mystery. Turns out these two title characters are more closely connected than The Sparrow could have ever imagined.

Posted this in some prog subreddits and got and OVERWHELMING response which lead to the album getting over 34,000 streams from January - February. 

I hope you enjoy!
