Parcels is an Australian band consisting of Louie Swain (keyboards), Patrick Hetherington (keyboards), Noah Hill (bass), Anatole Serret (drums) and Jules Crommelin (guitar).

Career

Even before the band was formed, the members from Byron Bay , Australia worked on various musical projects from folk to metal . In 2014 the members finally got together and formed the band Parcels, named after the café of the parents of one of the band members. A year later and after they had independently produced their first EP Clockscared and released it on March 2nd, 2015, they all decided to move to Berlin, where they currently live.

Shortly after moving to Germany, Parcels played at festivals such as the Dockville Festival and the Fusion Festival . After Clockscared was particularly successful in France, the French label Kitsuné signed the band. At a concert in Paris Daft Punk became aware of the band and together they produced the single Overnight , which was released on June 20, 2017. The following second EP, Hideout , was released on January 27, 2017.

The sound of Parcels sounds “like a colorful disco party on Acid.” The band describes their music as a mixture of electro-pop and disco-soul music, inspired by the 70s and combined with modern sounds.

The Parcels played at Glastonbury Festival on June 25, 2017 , made their first appearance on US television on the talk show Conan in September 2017, and played live on BBC Radio 1 on January 8, 2018 .
