Parlour StepsGenre: New Wave / Rock / Progressive
From: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Lauded by the Canadian press, thought rockers Parlour Steps has at various times evoked comparisons to brainy pop of XTC, the drama of Arcade Fire, the lyrical focus of Sufjan Stevens and the snappy rhythmic grip of the Pixies. But it is front man Caleb Stull’s relentless curiosity and daring songwriting that separates the band from the indie-rock pack.
The band's fifth album 'The Hidden Names', which takes it's first tentative steps out of the parlour in October, will have you twisting and shaking like a druggy in a chemist. This is art-damaged beauty, music that is stormy and playful; reflective of their west coast Canadian home of Vancouver. This is music that makes you want to shake your booty while stimulating the synapses. The album's tracks bend and flex like a gymnasts spine, like non identical twins each track is clearly from the same family yet completely different.
Treat yourself to a copy and have your wig blown off.
