Parcels have shared another glimpse of what’s to come on their hotly anticipated debut album today, in the form of new track ‘Bemyself‘’.  The track is released today on Kitsuné / Because Music and comes with a live video recorded on a rooftop in NYC.  The full album is expected later this year.

‘Bemyself’ is the latest offering in an irresistible series of tracks to come from the Berlin-based Australian 5 piece. Picking up perfectly where last single ‘Tieduprightnow’ left us, ‘Bemyself’ is an intriguingly sultry take on their signature modern disco, a slow-burning gem that feels destined to soundtrack the lazy days spent in the sun.

On writing ‘Bemyself’, the band say – “Bemyself’ was the very first track we recorded together at Mesanic studios. We were all very excited to start the record with this song, as it felt right to dive into a song that really had meaning for us all lyrically; it’s the message you want to tell yourself when recording your first album. The song started with a strong concept – to show our listeners a clear divide of the type of music we like to collide, being old and new. The song was to be split down the middle, starting with the ‘old self’, speaking of the past, with the sound of classic 60’s pop. Then, abruptly transforming into something new age to go with the tone of a new confident self. We tried recording the ‘new age’ second part twice; It never worked out.. The second half, very last minute, turned into another song that would become the last thing we recorded.. exactly one year later, making it the beginning and ending of recording process for the album. It made sense to us to have bemyself as the last song of the album.”

Already having surpassed 50 million streams, sold out sizeable shows worldwide (including multiple Australian headline shows), made their US TV debut on Conan and of course famously written tracks with legendary duo Daft Punk, Parcels are a band ascending. Currently putting the finishing touches on their debut album (which is expected to be released later this year), they’ve emerged already as one of the most vibrant and vital new bands around with a truly global and musically-diverse audience.

‘Bemyself’ is another tantalising glimpse of good times ahead. On that, and so much more, Parcels look set to keep delivering the goods.
