Australian electropop band Parcels is back with their latest single, "Sorry," the fifth song released ahead of their much-anticipated third album, "LOVED," After a four-year break since their last album, "Day/Night," the band consisting of Louie Swain, Patrick Hetherington, Noah Hill, Anatole Serret, and Jules Crommelin shows they've still got a talent for mixing warmth with a touch of emotion.
"Sorry" was written and produced by band members Jules Crommelin and Patrick Hetherington. The song takes listeners on a journey, starting in Berlin and incorporating different recording spaces along the way. It features a blend of soft guitar sounds and dreamy synths, creating a feeling that is both close and expansive. True to Parcels' style, the track is danceable yet thoughtful, with lyrics that tug at your heartstrings.
The band describes "Sorry" as a mix of sincerity and sarcasm. It's an apology to a specific person but also to everyone in general. It feels a little insincere and sarcastic at times, showing a colder side. This contrast plays out in the song, where smooth vocals intertwine with tight music, balancing both emotion and restraint.
As fans look forward to "LOVED," "Sorry" serves as a great teaser. It's a catchy song that's easy to enjoy, hard to categorize, and impossible to overlook. Parcels demonstrates that even in the polished world of electropop, there's space for honesty, fun, and a touch of regret all wrapped up in a groove that keeps you coming back for more.
