Parcels are fusing funk, disco, synth-pop and electronica in ways that will make your waters move. They are also the best dressed band you have ever seen in your life. I mean, just witness the array of garments on display above. It’s like a veritable lookbook for ‘unapproachably cool friendship group in 70s teen drama’.
The fabulous five met in high school in Australia before packing up their keyboards and buying a one way ticket to Berlin, where they now make music together. One of those pieces of music is called “Gamesofluck”, premiering below, and the only way I can describe it is it makes you want to do that dance where you rotate 360 degrees in a line and then clap. I don’t know what it’s called but I’m pretty sure nobody has ever done it without wearing flares. Like, this may actually help bring “groovy” and “wigging out” back into modern parlance.

“Gamesofluck” is released via Kitsuné Records on October 28.
