It had to happen - a band come along who, whether knowingly or not, effortlessly meld the sound of three of my favourite artists and get right under my skin: they go by the moniker Parcels and, being blunt, sound a lot like Daft Punk (who they've worked with in the past), Air and maybe shades of Jungle too. Normally, I hate these blanket definitions but rather than dance on the head of a pin I may as well tell it like it is. But I love the noise they make. It's infectious and it puts a smile on my face (which I really need right now, let me tell you). Also, I don't know why, but I'm rather taken with the fact that several of their song titles are elongated into one word; I shouldn't, but I do. This being a case in point. (I could just as easily gone with IknowhowIfeel or Tieduprightnow.) Hopeyouenjoyit.
Parcels - Somethinggreater (2021)
I hope this can be found on Bandcamp......
ReplyDeleteIt certainly can!
DeleteGreat to see some love for Parcels, John. Somethinggreater was the song that hooked me in 2022, albeit the remix by Gaspard Augé & Victor Le Masne which is equally fab.
ReplyDeleteGiven the heavy Gallic influences, it was a surprise to find that they originally hailed from Byron Bay in Australia!
And yes, George, plenty of Parcels studio tracks, remixes and live versions available on Bandcamp.
We need to talk Parcels, K! Jut one more reason why you have to come to #BlogCon25
