Parcels are the Aussie band with a drive-time sensibility (they’ve toured with the likes of Air, Phoenix and their debut single was produced by Daft Punk). For their second album, they’ve expanded their smooth-euro-pop-by-way-of-Steely-Dan sound for a release that is truly cinematic in scope (which also brings in elements of yacht-rocking classic pop and a touch of dreamy folk). They describe their latest incarnation as ‘Cowboy Disco’. Not sure about that, but they certainly know how to pull together a dreamy melody. GM
