Artist Spotlight: Parlour Bells

Finishing out the final week of October with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we keep it local here in Boston and check in with the dark and melodic sounds of Parlour Bells. The band consists of Goddamn Glenn, Nate Leavitt, Magen Tracy, Brendan Boogie, and Paul Myers. The band is self described as "dusky, darkly romantic lounge pop & art rock" that allows you to dim the lights a bit and experience the ethereal sounds slowly making their way towards you and taking ahold of you by the time the music has concluded. I caught these guys in concert a couple of weeks ago at the post-party for the premiere of the WFNX documentary "We Want The Airwaves", and I was totally impressed with them from the get go. I had heard about them frequently in the scene, but never had the opportunity to check them out in concert until that moment, and I was enthused with what they had to offer musically and Glenn's glammed up look wearing a shimmery sleeveless frock totally evoked the musical style that he was aiming for, and the music has that unspoken creativity and sheer beauty that is noticeably absent from modern music today. A terrific up and coming band in the scene that is definitely worthy of your musical time. Some tracks for you to enjoy from these guys include "Airwaves" and "Bachelor Hours".
