[Parcels]

KEXP and Cheryl Waters, thank you for having us!

[jamesvitucci]

I love how their outfits range from "date night at a speak easy" to "italian grandfather" to "helping your friend move"

[ethanschrader]

KEXP audio engineers deserve every award ever.

[starchamberlain]

Hands down, one of the greatest bands writing and performing today! Their musicianship, energy, and overall love of the sound makes them stand head an shoulders above any of their contemporaries. Long live Parcels!! And thank you!!

[juanpialpi]

Parcels has become the best band in the world. Not recognized worldwide yet, but save my word.

"Our philosophy in a way is to keep moving, keep changing everything. We can never really play the same thing twice because we get bored very easily"... Now that's why they are the greatest. Always finding a different way to play a song with changing tempos, intros, transitions, arrangements. Each studio session, live session, concert is unique. We may like one version better, but we will NEVER be bored. The Parcels you get when you see them live is a unique Parcels and that's exactly what keeps it real.

[fatjake]

Cheryl Waters you are an absolute treasure!

[Tchikanii]

How I LOVE them with their own personal styles! Pat with his face scrunched in raw musician's passion in his ripped-seams favourite jumper that he probably woke up in (we all have such a fav jacket). Noah the elegant Byron Bay beaut with angel's locks bouncing like his bass. Toto with his half-French style chic and boyish smile. Louie the synth-magician in the background with his unostentatious down-to-earth shirts and flaxen bowl cut. And Jules who is just an iconic mix of music history's greatest styles fused into the incomparable modern Jules-Crommelin-piece-of-art.
Oh and their music?! The same beautiful mix of their personalities transcended from visual to audio level! No one else out there sounds quite like them!

[rusty]

I know it's not a particularly original point but I'm always floored by the quality of production KEXP squeeze out of live performances. Almost studio quality audio.

[bossbaby]

I truly think we will look back on Parcels as being one of the greatest bands of all time.

[MrMorelloJr]

If we still make music in a hundred years, I'm sure musicians will still play Rhodes pianos, telecasters, jazz basses & Strats. Their sounds are timeless.

[MarioKazooie]

Parcels changed my life, what a perfect addition to KEXP, glad to see they're becoming really famous (pun intended)

[ilie-razvanturcanu]

To the newcomers
What you've just felt is the deepest soul of Pat, Noah, Louie, Toto and Jules, who came up with an emotional, orchestral oriented album, that shows their growth as artists and their pure sensibility. It's even beyond the catchy grooves that had already blown our minds in Live Vol. 1 (the live album that made me love them forever, check it ASAP). Their harmonies are like melting sugar and their rhythmic chemistry is ridiculously BADASS. To me, it's a story of ego sacrifice in the name of shared, noble ART. They wouldn't be the same apart. They've built something greater than themselves, for us to lighten up and to be ourselves. Welcome to the Parcels family!

[kenmatsurika]

Now I torturethe replay button.
Thanks KEXP for having Parcels with you. And the boys are great as always.

[Pepijnisdebom]

The greatest band in the world! I have tickets for their show in the netherlands. Love you guys please never stop making music

[josedanielvillegas]

I've been waiting for this KEXP performance for two years now, when they released their Live Vol. 1. Finally, you've made me so happy people of KEXP.

[Genious.]

I was really hoping for a band that didn't knock me on my ass because, financially, KEXP is killing me. 2 minutes into this and I knew I'd be buying their stuff. What a great band.

[hijsmatt]

Saw these guys at the Rock Werchter festival, best live show of the whole weekend and one of the best shows of my life ❤

[NikolasGutierrezCasallas]

Props again to Cheryl for making such good questions and go deep into the artists she is interviewing.
So happy to see Parcels next week in Toronto. A day/night to never forget!
