The Parlor - You Are Love and I Am You (2023)

You Are Love And I Am You is a dreamy psychedelic bedroom-art-pop record about the ecstasy of catharsis and cosmic imagination. A response to The Parlor’s most recent long player; the 2018 album Kiku which chronicled the band's experience of grief and loss.

Meant to be listened to as an album, front to back. Loud, with artwork in hand. In an altered state of consciousness. With influences from The Mamas and the Papas, Tame Impala, Broadcast, Fleetwood Mac, Warpaint, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, Trip Hop, New Wave, anti-folk, George Harrison, Velvet Underground, Khruangbin, Grimes, Cults, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

It plays in a loop, an ouroboros. The cycle of birth and death. Touching on Jungian archetypal symbols. Contemplative meditation. Profound self-acceptance. Sung as the sum total of all we've ever been.

"Like dust in the light // Both the dark and bright"

We hope you find something beautiful within that reminds you of what you've always been at the deepest recess of your heart. You are the universe manifesting, right now, aware of itself, shining.
