PARCELS Share Alex Metric Remix; Coachella, Governors Ball & Sold Out Tour This Spring

Parcels ended 2018 on an incredible high. They released their widely acclaimed self-titled debut album via Kitsuné / Because Music / Caroline to a torrent of unanimous praise, surpassing 75 million streams globally to-date--including over 8 million views of their gorgeous, cinematic music videos. The band also embarked on a monumental global headline tour including sold out dates throughout Europe, Australia, Japan and more. The Berlin-based Australian group is set to return to North America in 2019 in support of Parcels, including festival performances at Coachella and Governors Ball and a headline tour that includes sold out shows in NYC, Chicago, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Minneapolis and more.

Now, just when you thought your winter blues were reaching paramount levels, Parcels have shared a perfect remedy with a new remix of album track "Lightenup" by the legendary Alex Metric--the hugely celebrated, Grammy Award winning British musician, DJ and producer. The result is a totally euphoric and soaring disco-trip that breathes new life into an already exceptional track.

Ambitious, infectious, and marking the arrival of a genre-crossing new band, Parcels' debut album is the brainchild of five young guys--Louie Swain (synth), Patrick Hetherington (synth), Noah Hill (bass), Anatole Serret (drums) and Jules Crommelin (guitar)--who have appeared as if beamed from another planet. Parcels follow an eclectic thread from The Beach Boys and Chic through to heroes like Steely Dan, all the while blending elements of electronica, funk and tirelessly-drilled live musicianship into classic but contemporary pop. The group also has 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 legendary duo have chosen an emerging act to add to their list of collaborators, which also includes the likes of Kanye, The Weeknd and Pharrell.

The twelve tracks on Parcels were self-produced and written by the band in Berlin. The album's singles include "Tieduprightnow" which mixes crate-digging disco grooves, a taut indie sensibility and effortlessly uplifting harmonies into immaculate modern pop; the disco and funk-infused "Lightenup"; and "beach party jam" (Stereogum) "Bemyself." Parcels most recently released "Withorwithout" along with a video that celebrates the American slasher film genre and stars Milla Jovovich.
