The Parrots

About

" The most ‘party rock’ band in the world "

Diego García and Álex de Lucas are the perfect example of how to mature in the world of music, without dying of boredom trying. When the now duo (before they were a trio) released their first work ‘Los Niños Sin Miedo’ five years ago, that smell of immediacy, that point of madness, that air of burning life every night was the soundtrack to the perfect party. They have matured since, and done so flawlessly, combining the fun of yesteryear with musical nuances that no one imagined they would find in the world of The Parrots. 

In their second record, their music has opened up to more diverse styles, from electronic to Krautrock. They have incorporated drum machines, samples and even crazy saxophones, and their lyrics are more reflective and adult. The collaboration with C. Tangana almost feels like the uniting of two antagonistic universes. The Parrots had to go to the UK to succeed in their country and make their bilingualism an advantage, for example, their new album is half in English half in Spanish, a statement of their diverse approach. 

New album ‘Dos’ is short and that is excellent news; the temptation to hit play again is the best compliment nowadays. Tom Furse’s production is excellent and gives everything a unique packaging, being from its launch a candidate for a Spanish album of the year.
