Parcels have today released their new album 'Live Vol. 2’. Out now via Because Music, it is
available digitally and on 180gsm double vinyl.

'Live Vol. 2' consists of twelve tracks, all recorded live by the band at a secret gig in Paris last
year. Of those twelve tracks, 5 brand new & unreleased songs are included. The album follows
on from Parcels' previous live album, 'Live Vol. 1,' released in 2020 and a fan favourite for its
display of the band's distinguished musicianship and one-take performance.

But 'Live Vol. 2' sees the 5-piece - from Australia but based in Berlin - explore a new,
club-inspired direction and sound, first trialed at their live shows last year.

Of the process behind recording and producing the album, Patrick Hetherington of the band
says:

“We were less purist than we have been in the past. We edited the songs down here and there, took some of them out completely. We produced and mixed more actively, shooting for some sort of live/dance/studio hybrid. At the same time we strived to maintain the spontaneity, the little moments of improvised playfulness, a few sweet mistakes, and hopefully we captured something close to what it really felt like in that club on that strange evening.”

Originally formed in Byron Bay, Australia back in 2014, Parcels are presently based in Berlin,
Germany, and the band's lineup is keyboardist Louie Swain, keyboardist/guitarist Patrick
Hetherington, bassist Noah Hill, drummer Anatole "Toto" Serret, and guitarist Jules Crommelin.

The band released their debut, self-titled album in 2018 to widespread critical acclaim, with
NME dubbing it "cheeky, timeless, and devilishly catchy" in their 5-star review. Parcels' second
studio album Day/Night is an ambitious record made up of two self-contained albums. The
record was praised by the likes of Rolling Stone UK: "a brilliantly accomplished, genre-spanning record" and Gigwise who proclaimed it "a career-defining record."

Parcels are a formidable unit as a live band, and completed their biggest tour to date last year,
performing at sold-out headline shows and festivals across the globe including Hollywood Bowl
in Los Angeles and New York's SummerStage in Central Park. The band's most recent shows in
the UK were hailed "a dextrous show of live prowess" in NME's 5-star review of their Islington
Academy Show, adding: "you simply have to see this band live."

All this is evident in 'Live Vol. 2,' the new album by Parcels - available now via Because Music.
