Description

Parcels, the young disco-pop breakthrough band hailing from Australia, now living in Berlin. The first emerging band ever to collaborate with the legendary Daft Punk (Overnight single summer 2017). Worldwide tour in 2018, following their 50+ sold out shows in 2017 including Glastonbury festival, Koko (headline) and key EU festivals. Their debut album is immaculately self-produced and written by the band in Berlin. Ambitious, infectious, and marking the arrival of a genre-crossing new band, the album is the brainchild of five young guys barely in their twenties, who nonetheless have appeared as if beamed from another planet. Louie Swain (synth), Patrick Hetherington (synth), Noah Hill (bass), Anatole Serret (drums) and Jules Crommelin (guitar) are schoolmates from Byron Bay. 3 years ago, they made the big leap of moving to Berlin, finding in one Europes 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, all the while blending elements of electronica, funk and tirelessly-drilled live musicianship into classic but contemporary pop. Its in their Berlin exile and its long history of creative breakthroughs that the alchemy which makes Parcels so refreshing first crystallized. 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).
