PARLIAMO are back with their first single of the year, showcasing a unique blend of funk-inspired guitars and 1990s sounding melodies.
Boasting influences of electronica and indie, the latest tune from the Perth sextet has been fine-tuned to perfection after being written over two years ago before teaming up with producer Jamie Holmes. Recorded at Castle Of Doom Studios in Glasgow, Parliamo reiterate their reputation of combining relatable social commentary with anthemic choruses.
Illuminating a reflective side to the six-piece, singer Jack Dailly explains the honest inspiration behind ‘You’re An Animal’: “The lyrics centre on projecting your own failures and insecurities onto someone else in an argument: when you really should be having a go at yourself, you deflect the blame and double down. It quickly became an effective live number, with loads of people who had seen us live asking us when it would be released.”
Transporting listeners to those memorable summer nights spent with friends, the refreshing sound of dazed guitar-pop rhythms pre-empts ‘You’re An Animal’ to become a festival classic for the group. Some of Parliamo’s upcoming gigs include Cafe Drummonds in Aberdeen, Edinburgh’s Mash House and a support slot at SWG3 Galvanisers Yard supporting The Snuts before returning to the stage at Otherlands Festival in August.
