first light of dawn

The earliest work from Tim Sparks - pre-Nikko Fir and pre-Laughter of the Crowd. Recorded at home on the most basic equipment, the tag-line runs: 5 songs, 3 bedrooms, 1 microphone, reflecting the album's evolution across three different houses while Sparks was studying at university.

Track listing:

1. Until I Know
2. Like the Dawn
3. Hey Mister
4. Maybe
5. When Will I See?

Of the five original songs, re-recordings of 'Hey Mister' and 'When Will I See?' would go on to feature on Laughter of the Crowd's debut album and, potentially, re-recordings of the other three will feature on the debut Nikko Fir album. The EP was produced and sold under Tearfund's Art for Mercy banner, and all the proceeds from this recording go to support that cause.
