"...a wildly ambitious swirl of hyper-literacy, orchestral grandeur and incredible intimacy"—L.A. Times
Following a lamentable two-year absence, Portland, Oregon's progressive pop powerhouse Parenthetical Girls finally mark their return to Los Angeles on July 21st, at The Echo. The Girls have been busy: the group is currently in the midst of an ambitious experiment—self-releasing our fourth record, Privilege, as a sequential series of 5 extremely limited (500 copies) 12” EPs on our own Slender Means Society label, each hand-numbered in the BLOOD of its members—a project that has attracted a great deal of media curiosity (Pitchfork, Stereogum, L.A. Times, Drowned In Sound, RCRD LBL, etc. have all run stories or features about the series). What's more, lead (((GRRRL))) Zac Pennington was recently recruited as a member of experimental pop titans Xiu Xiu, and Parenthetical Girls themselves have been joined by multi-instrumentalist Paul Alcott, touring member of the group Menomena.
The group will be joined in Los Angeles by hometown heroes Abe Vigoda, Brooklyn's baroque metal group Extra Life (fronted by former Dirty Projector Charlie Looker, who was recently ranked one of NPR's top "100 Composers Under 40"), and a solo set from Dead Science frontman/Xiu Xiu member Sam Mickens.
