Big Orange Crayonmusical thingsthe Parcels Have a Go With the Parcels Brentwood Estates There are lots of reasons to listen to music - people listen to music to get depressed, to get angry, lonely, sentimental, or any other imaginable emotion. But sometimes, people just listen to music to jump around like a kid and be happy for no reason in particular (at least I do). This is good, because without it, this album would have never been made and the world wouldn't have been quite so sunny. Not only is this indie pop similar to Go Sailor, it's indie pop that mentions Go Sailor in a song, so all of us indie pop dorks get enchanted immediately. If you're like me, that's all you need. You'll love this album. If you're more rational than I am, you might need a little more information before laying out your ten bucks, and that's fine. Have a Go With the Parcels features a lot of straight-foreward jangly guitars with vintage sounding organs and such with mostly girl, though occasionally girl/boy vocals in very cute songs such as "Jessica Pancakes" which lives happily in a little corner of my brain and comes out to play when I'm trying to concentrate on other things, but I don't mind because the more songs about people who sabotage their relationships in an attempt to eat more pancakes, the merrier, I say. Really, though the whole disc, the mood never drops, starting in the sparkly opening track "Snappy New Haircut" though a bit of Kant's categorical imperative in "I Stole A Star" to the end, you'll be jumping around and singing along like me.
