Parcels release “TIEDUPRIGHTNOW” live
Parcels’ new single “TIEDUPRIGHTNOW” has amassed more than 5 million streams since its release a month ago. To celebrate, the Berlin-based Australian five-piece have released a live session of the song filmed atop a New York City rooftop and is reminiscent of The Beatles’ Hard Day’s Night. The session was filmed while the group were in town for their SOLD OUT Bowery Ballroom show – their first-ever NYC show, the effervescent energy of which not unlike early Fab Four performances. The instantly infectious sound of “TIEDUPRIGHTNOW”. The band’s debut full length album, set to arrive later this year on Kitsuné/Because Music distributed by Caroline.
If a chance encounter with the world’s most reclusive robots offered the band a surprise break, “TIEDUPRIGHTNOW” more than confirms Parcels’ early promise as one of the most vibrant and vital new bands around. Already building a truly global, musically-diverse audience, Parcels are still-just-20-year-olds Louie Swain (keyboards), Patrick Hetherington (keyboards), Noah Hill (bass), Anatole Serret (percussion) and Jules Crommelin (guitar). Three years ago, the Byron Bay schoolmates made the big leap of moving to Berlin, finding in one Europe’s most creative cities the prospects that equaled their ambition. Parcels’ early sound suitably reflects this ability to travel, and transform yourself: following an eclectic thread from The Beach Boys and Chic through to yacht rock heroes like Steely Dan and local heroes Tame Impala, all the while blending elements of electronica, funk, yacht rock and tirelessly-drilled live musicianship into classic but contemporary pop. It’s in their Berlin exile – and its long history of creative breakthroughs – that the alchemy which makes Parcels so refreshing first crystalized. Theirs is a maniacal taste for perfection when it comes to production, composition and arrangement, with a live show so accomplished that Daft Punk offered to work with them on the spot (the first time the duo have chosen an emerging act to add to their list of collaborators, which also includes the likes of Kanye, The Weeknd and Pharrell).
