Parcels – Parcels (2018)

Parcels Pickymagazine © Antoine Henault

Wer die bisherigen Titel der Parcels im Ohr hat (Overnight, Older, Gamesofluck), weiß vielleicht, zu was die Australier in der Lage sind – wenn sie denn wollen. Als Parcels also erschien und alle Instagram-Profile großer Künstler und Bands die Platte lobten wie Eltern ihr Erstgeborenes, dachte ich mir, dass dieses Album eine hochexplosive Mischung aus Disco, Funk und dem besonderes Etwas der Parcels sein muss. Meine Erwartungen waren also ziemlich hoch und ich habe mich voller Vorfreude auf dieses 12 Nummern schwere Album gestürzt. Nur um dann voll auf die Schnauze zu fliegen und richtig enttäuscht zu werden. Also, ziehen wir’s durch.

Die Eröffnung macht Comedown. Ich komme mir vor wie beim Einlauf einer Best-Of-80-Chartshow die von irgendeinem charakterlosen, geleckten Moderator im Privatfunk moderiert wird. Der Gesang ist okay, ansonsten passiert aber nichts interessantes in diesen 3:08. Das Schlagzeug ist mir ziemlich unsympathisch, die Snare klingt mit jedem Schlag schlimmer. Spiel halt mal ein Fill oder sowas, ich hab schließlich Geld bezahlt. Die Eröffnung ist ehrlich gesagt ziemlich schwach, da hätte ich mir deutlich mehr Druck gewünscht. Ich gucke wie ein Vorstadtkind, was kein iPhone zu Ostern bekommen hat.

Wow, okay, cool, den Übergang zu Lightenup habe ich nicht gehört. Respekt dafür, Jungs. Ich trage aber auch manchmal meine T-Shirts falsch herum und bemerke das nicht. Lightenup ist im Ansatz das, was man von den Parcels erwarten kann. Ich bin etwas zufriedener, aber so ganz schmeckt mir die Geschichte immer noch nicht. Zum Glück kommt ja als nächstes Withorwithout, also praktisch die Frage die jeden quält, der Döner mit Knoblauchsauce bestellen möchte, später aber noch ein Date hat. Wie die Songs davor, hörbar, aber uninteressant. Das Synthie-Solo rettet da auch nichts mehr und ich warte sehnlichst auf den nächsten Song.

Tape fängt sogar relativ vielversprechend an, wir überschreiten nämlich die Grenze der gefühlten 89 BPM. Doch die Aufregung ist nur von kurzer Dauer, es passiert nämlich SCHON WIEDER nichts Aufregendes. Der Track hebt nicht so richtig ab. Genau genommen hebt er überhaupt nicht ab. Die Drums gehen mir auch hier gegen den Strich. Dann kommt Everyroad und das finde ich eigentlich schon ein bisschen frech, nach vier eher schwachen Songs so eine acht Minuten Nummer zu bringen. Für wen halten die sich? Pink Floyd? Für mich klingt Everyroad eher wie ein Teller beim All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet. Von allem etwas, aber nichts so richtig. Und man ist auch nicht richtig satt, sondern so komisch satt. Weißt du was ich meine? Diesen komischen Dubstep-Part am Ende erwähne ich gar nicht erst.

Da ist er endlich, dieser Gitarrensound, auf den ich so lange gewartet habe

Yourfault ist tatsächlich ganz nett. Nichts neues, vor allem nichts funkiges, aber einfach ganz nett zu hören. Hätte auch von Mac DeMarco oder einer beliebigen Indie-Band sein können, die einem von einem edgy Youtube-Kanal vorgeschlagen wird. Eignet sich gut zum frühstücken am Sonntagmorgen oder nach der Arbeit abschalten. So schnell wie Yourfault angefangen hat, ist er auch wieder zu Ende. Closetowhy kann mich schon gar nicht mehr enttäuschen, weil ich nichts mehr erwarte von diesem Album. Der Bums fehlt einfach. Ist genau wie der Song davor, einfach ganz nett. Nichts, wo du sofort merkst, der ist es. Doch halt! Was ist das? In der Mitte höre ich endlich das raus, worauf ich mich gefreut habe! Parcelige Funkiness. Da ist sie endlich, diese Gitarre im Hintergrund. OMG. Ich habe Tränen in den Augen und mein Körper schüttelt unaufhörlich. Die ersten Leute schauen bereits rüber. Jemand ruft einen Krankenwagen.

IknowhowIfeel (Was soll überhaupt die Scheiße mit den Leerzeichen? Beziehungsweise eher ohne die Leerzeichen?) holt mich finally ab. Mein Kopf nickt mit. Zwar nur leicht, aber immerhin wurde eine körperliche Reaktion getriggered. Die Gesangsmelodie ist sehr schön, und bleibt im Gedächtnis. Einer der ersten Kandidaten, die es in meine Daily Rotation schaffen würden. Die Percussions stimmen auch. Da sind sie also endlich, die Parcels. Der Krankenpfleger stürmt rein und legt mir eine Aludecke um die Schultern. Heißen Kakao (mit Schuss) gibt’s auch noch.

Exotica finde ich minimalistisch-tight. Besonders spannend ist dieser ruhigen Teil der ab 3:51 beginnt. Irgendwie mysteriös und jazzig. Bisher der hörbarste Teil des Albums. Leider viel zu kurz. Tieduprightnow war uns ja bereits bekannt. Meine Vermutung ist einfach, jemand ist beim mastern an dem Tempo-Regler hängen geblieben und bis zur Masterpressung ist es niemandem aufgefallen. Das Ding würde richtig grooven, wenn es nur einen großen Tacken schneller wäre. So klingt das eher wie eine Play-Along Version auf Youtube für Grundschulkinder. Schade. Bemyself ist ebenfalls irgendwie weder Fisch noch Fleisch, so wie veganes Essen. Der Song klingt wie eine kleine Pause vom sonst so aufregenden Album. Plot-Twist, der Rest des Albums ist überhaupt nicht aufregend, also brauchen wir auch keine Pause.

Auch nach dem zweiten Mal durchhören ist der Funke trotzdem nicht übergesprungen

Tja, das war dann auch schon das Debüt der Parcels. Die Credits können die sich dann auch schenken. Hab jetzt keine Lust mehr. Ich bin richtig enttäuscht. Versteht mich nicht falsch, die Parcels sind großartige Musiker, die ihr Fach vollkommen verstehen. Allerdings hatte ich einfach etwas komplett anderes erwartet. Ich hatte mich auf eine Discokugel gefreut, die sich in Extase dreht, bekommen habe ich eine softe Mischung aus QVC-Shopping-Musik, und Hörspielbegleitung. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich einige Songs auch nur aus Anstand zu Ende gehört. Einfach weil ich es diese Parcels so lieb habe.

Von der eher mauen Palette an Songs, hat mich keiner wirklich mitgenommen. Auch nach dem zweiten Mal durchhören und lesen anderer Kritiken unter anderem von Muzamagazin (Hey Nicole,wie geht’s?), ist der Funke trotzdem nicht übergesprungen. Tut mir sehr leid, für mich selbst und natürlich für die Parcels, weil die Jungs bis zum Systemcrash mit einem lauen Lüftchen als Debüt in den Plattenläden stehen werden. Das Album gibt es natürlich auf Spotify zu hören!

  • Am besten hören beim: Enttäuscht werden, Teleshopping, Party für Introvertierte schmeißen
  • Favorite Song: Exotica, IknowhowIfeel
  • Least Favorite Song: Der Rest

Nichtsdestotrotz ist das Video zu Withorwitout sehr ansehnlich, denn es spielt Milla Jovovich mit:

  58. I have taken notice that in video cameras, unique devices help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. The sensors associated with some surveillance cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others employ a beam with infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low light. Higher standards cameras from time to time use a blend of both techniques and may have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‚See‘ your face and focus only on that.

  62. Based on my research, after a the foreclosure home is sold at a sale, it is common for the borrower to be able to still have any remaining unpaid debt on the personal loan. There are many financial institutions who attempt to have all expenses and liens paid by the next buyer. On the other hand, depending on a number of programs, laws, and state regulations there may be several loans which are not easily fixed through the exchange of financial loans. Therefore, the duty still rests on the debtor that has received his or her property in foreclosure. Thank you for sharing your opinions on this website.

  89. I will also like to express that most people that find themselves without having health insurance are normally students, self-employed and those that are jobless. More than half from the uninsured are under the age of Thirty five. They do not think they are wanting health insurance since they are young in addition to healthy. Their income is generally spent on homes, food, along with entertainment. Most people that do go to work either whole or part-time are not given insurance by way of their work so they get along without due to rising tariff of health insurance in the us.

  106. Thanks for your submission. I would also like to remark that the very first thing you will need to complete is determine whether you really need repairing credit. To do that you have got to get your hands on a replica of your credit profile. That should not be difficult, since government makes it necessary that you are allowed to be issued one no cost copy of the credit report annually. You just have to inquire the right people. You can either check out the website with the Federal Trade Commission and also contact one of the main credit agencies specifically.

  113. Thanks for expressing your ideas on this blog. Also, a delusion regarding the lenders intentions when talking about foreclosure is that the standard bank will not have my installments. There is a certain quantity of time that the bank is going to take payments here and there. If you are very deep within the hole, they will commonly require that you pay the payment in full. However, i am not saying that they will not take any sort of payments at all. Should you and the loan company can have the ability to work anything out, the foreclosure practice may stop. However, when you continue to miss out on payments underneath the new plan, the home foreclosure process can just pick up from where it left off.
