Parlovr

Parlovr-Parlovr(2008)
Slusam nesto ovaj bend ovih dana...genijalan album,najzapostavljenijeg benda iz Montreala...
Ja sam zaljubljen u ovaj album...





Parlovr is a sloppy pop band from Montreal, Canada consisting of Alex Cooper, Louis David Jackson and Jeremy Maccuish. It formed sometime between 2006-2007 with Alex and Louis writing all sorts of weird punk soul rock epic songs together in a small loft called 'the parlour'. They enlisted Jeremy and thereafter recorded and independently released a self-titled album in late 2008. It was subsequently released by Dine Alone in 2010. Known for their spastically energetic hair-flailing live show, they've toured around Canada, USA, Europe and China (really!) and have had fun opening up for Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Handsome Furs, We Are Wolves and Marnie Stern, among others. They have also played festivals like Pop Montreal, Osheaga, CMJ, SXSW, CMW, NXNE and FME. A 4-song EP called 'Hell/heaven/Big/Love' is their newest release (again, put out on Dine Alone Records) and the band is entering the studio again for a follow-up to their full-length.


"Parlovr (pronounced “parlor”), from Montreal, had songs that started out as precise pop constructions — guitar lines and vocal hooks neatly placed, with distant hints of the Beach Boys — and flared up from there, as the sardonic gave way to the unguarded, with the singers starting to shout and yelp as they pounded their instruments harder. "
New York Times
"This local trio of self-professed "sloppy" rockers carve out a kind of pop art brut, a beautiful mess of raw (but never ridiculous) emotion and rough (but never unintelligible) textures, with bold, tender melodies standing tall from end to end."
Montreal Mirror
“Montreal trio Parlovr were a tight, ferocious rock machine. They’re visually engaging, with lots of hair whipping and guttural yells, their songs are dynamic fun, and their drummer knows when to choose restraint over bombast - and when the moment’s ripe for cowbell.”
