Bouncily mellow - or mellowly bouncy -, Parcels' s/t record knows how to balance the funky and the chill. Even though I prefer the jammy shit, a 50mins album full of ass-shaking tunes might have been a tad too much. Here, almost every soothing tune is followed by a rhythm-led one, which makes the album a diversified listen constantly bringing summer vibes.

Very sweet debut LP that shows a lot of potential. It is globally on the slightly slower, more mellow side compared to the explosive EP, but that's not to say it doesn't have bops. The tracks take more time to build up. This starts from 1 which takes a minute or two to fully open but is sweet thereafter. 2 is dancier/funkier, 3 slower, and 4 funkier again but more on the chill in the sun side than the dancy side. 5 is the paroxysm of what I describe by slow building songs as it takes a long time to build up (too long for playlists probably) but is really cool as an album listen and adds lots of ideas, particularly the super cool and unexpected electronic break near the end. 6 is softer again, nice but hugely compelling. 7 is fun electronically, and 8 is great fun especially when the vocals kick in atop the funk, while 9 adds some cool elements in the way of flutes and strings. As you can probably tell, the length of the album is well managed, and there are constant yet coherent shifts in vibe and instrumentation that keep the listener entertained throughout without feeling incohesive. 10 is a huge jam, 11 is sweet, and while I wouldnt put it on a playlist or anything I respect 12 as a fun and humouristic way to close the album. Great effort and lots of rejam material. 3.7
