The Electric Soft Parade - Stages (2020)

As The Electric Soft Parade has aged, the wait between albums has increased with almost seven years separating Stages and their previous fourth LP, IDIOTS. As extensive as this wait has been; The Electric Soft Parade has not been idle. In 2014 both Alex and Thomas collaborated with Mark Chadwick (Levellers) to play drums and piano on his second solo LP, Moment. They took a “Remain” stance on Brexit including a mini-European tour entitled “The Brexit Outreach” during April and May in 2019. The White bothers have also endured much tragedy, for the focus of Stages was dealing with the loss of their mother. Stages aimed to take on “the multiple perspectives of the experience of death and grief”.
