← Back | Musician | 3 Music Videos
Parcels, originally hailing from Australia but significantly influenced by Berlin's music scene, successfully made their mark in the music industry with a unique blend of electro-pop, funk, and disco. Their most notable track, 'Overnight', is not only impressive for its distinctive soundscape but also remarkably for its noteworthy collaboration with the massively successful French duo, Daft Punk. The video, featuring the band members primarily in an unfurnished room with just their instruments, ingeniously harnesses simplicity to reflect on their music's unadorned enchantment. An amusing tidbit about this is that despite collaborating with a sci-fi inspired electronic music giant like Daft Punk, they chose such a minimalist, fuss-free visual representation.
The band's compelling approach to their subsequent music videos demonstrates their understanding of the importance of visual storytelling. With tracks like 'Tieduprightnow' and 'Withorwithout', they carved out a cinematic universe. 'Tieduprightnow' traces the youthful wanderings on a sunlit day of a young woman who liberates a Parcels LP from a store. The video carefully combines aesthetics of the 70s with a modern touch, becoming a delightful homage to their retro influences. Meanwhile, 'Withorwithout' takes on a more chilling edge. Shot like a classic slasher film, including all the camp and thrill, it's not something you would expect from a band that got its start in the vibrant disco era. Yet, it perfectly encapsulates Parcels' willingness to experiment and be intriguingly unpredictable. The band even cheekily linked their videos by featuring the freed LP from 'Tieduprightnow' as a prop in 'Withorwithout', subtly referencing their own musical universe.
