Parcels "Safeandsound": Keeping It Live in new video
Embracing Uncertainty
Parcels' "Safeandsound": A Taste of What's to Come, Plus 2025 Tour Dates
Parcels, ever the purveyors of sophisticated melody, have released "Safeandsound," a track that signals a deeper, more introspective chapter for the Australian five-piece. Trading slick studio sheen for the intimacy of a live performance, the accompanying video, captured at Sydney's Golden Retriever Studios, presents the band in their element, a single room radiating with the palpable energy of a shared musical moment. Guitarist Jules Crommelin cites "The Cloud of Unknowing" podcast as a lyrical wellspring, its exploration of embracing uncertainty finding resonance within the song's contemplative themes. This release, a taste of their forthcoming autumn album, reflects a band turning inward, exploring individual journeys before weaving them into their collective sonic tapestry. While their signature blend of smooth indie-pop remains, "Safeandsound" suggests a band less concerned with polish and more invested in the authentic pulse of their creative process, a testament to their evolving artistry as they prepare to embark on a highly anticipated North American tour in 2025.
