Byron Bay, Australia—a laid-back idyll on the eastern coast of the continent—is known for its world-class surf, New Age practices, and sparkling beaches. It’s also the birthplace of electropop five-piece Parcels. Now based in Berlin, the band was first spotted by Franco-Japanese label Kitsuné (who are also the designers behind Maison Kitsuné) and had Parisian electronic music duo Daft Punk clandestinely attend their first show in France. (The band went on to collaborate with the dance legends on a single, 2017’s “Overnight.”)
Since then, Parcels has found its footing. Their was released at the end of 2021—an expansive, scintillating exploration of jazz, disco, pop, and soundscapes, urging the listener to move to the beat.
