Wildcard (week 31):
Parcels – Comingback
The summer here in Western Europe may be somewhat underwhelming, but luckily Parcels are here to create a sunny atmosphere. Comingback is their second track of the year, following Juneβs single Free. Both songs will appear on the bandβs next album, which they finished recording recently.
In a statement, the band said Comingback was one of the bandβs earliest ideas after the release of their last album. However, it ended up one of the last songs to be completed after being rewritten a number of times.
The track is built around an infectious piano part and a lively rhythm section with breakbeat-like drum patterns. Throughout a beautiful string arrangement gives the song extra class. The bridge has a great build-up with vivid percussion and orchestral elements, culminating in a musical climax of sorts.
Comingback by Parcels is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, so itβll feature here prominently for a whole week.
