Parade’s recent debut single offered music that was very hard to put your finger on, not least because its two tracks sounded absolutely nothing like each other. The first, Picking Flowers felt like the work of a female singer-songwriter who had dispensed with verses and choruses and was backed by a band on the verge of falling apart: woodwind, keyboards and guitar clashing, drums fading in and out of the mix, everything soaked in dub-influenced echo. Then it seemed to turn into a completely different song midway through. The second, Que?, offered a male rap-adjacent vocal over a chaotic sprawl of distorted guitar and drums before collapsing into noisy abstraction then stopping dead. - The Guardian
