Album Description
Available in:
"Parcels" is the debut full length studio album from Berlin-based Electropop band Parcels, released October 12, 2018 through Kitsuné Musique.
User Album Review
There are hints of one Moroder-featuring project all over ‘Parcels’; unsurprisingly, it proves to be the spiritual sequel to Daft Punk’s space-odyssey ‘Random Access Memories’. They give it a thoroughly unique twist, though. There are gorgeous harmonies on the pool-side jam ‘Bemyself’, and ‘Exotica’ is a soothing orchestral joint that push their songwriting into bold new territory.
Remarkably, ‘Parcels’ manages to be an album that transcends elements from across pop history while still sounding remarkably fresh. The shimmering disco tendencies of the ‘70s turn ‘Lightenup’ and ‘IknowhowIfeel’ into dance floor smashes, as influences from ‘80s pop titans like Hall & Oates and The Cars rear their heads on gooey cuts like ‘Withorwithoutyou’ and ‘Yourfault’. Meanwhile, ‘Tape’ sounds like it would sit nicely on The Strokes’ underrated synth-heavy 2011 album ‘Angels’, and ‘Everyroad’ has a chunky bassline wobble in its exuberant final third.
In a time when new acts are pressured into releasing as much music as possible, it’s commendable that Parcels have taken control of their destiny with a project that’s well-thought out and engaging from start-to-finish. It feels both timely and from a different era – a very rare feat. Then again, not many albums are made like this any more.
