PARCS - 'Wait!'
PARCS bring an end to our summer vibes in great fashion with warm indie-disco track ‘Wait!’. ‘
Wait!' is a song inspired by disco with four to the floor drums, melodic synths & a driving bass line. Its lyrical themes are about seeking short term highs in places you know you probably shouldn’t. It’s the first track in which both Elly and Kristy collaborated lyrically and vocally, with Liam and Joe contributing heavily to the production and songwriting.
"The song's origins were a simple loop drum and synth loop recorded in a rehearsal room, soon becoming an idea that we couldn't help but add to and construct a more elaborate groove. We wanted to explore a different angle of the PARCS sound while still maintaining that core dream-like, synth heavy character but also introducing some bigger and brighter sounds.”
PARCS have been brewing on the South Wales scene for a few years now, slowly moulding their sound. Recently expanding to a four piece, husband and wife team Joe and Elly are now joined by Kristy and Liam. Built around Elly Sinnett’s dreamy vocals, PARCS craft beautiful soundscapes of punchy drum beats, washed out synths and purposeful guitar lines. With bittersweet, melancholic choruses that you can’t help but move to, PARCS create music with both groove and heart.
