Rykarda Parasol - Tuesday Morning (2023) Hi-Res

For those familiar with Rykarda Parasol’s music, know her semi-autobiographical tales have steadily progressed from the dark to light while still maintaining Parasol’s darkly-tinged voice and subdued off-center style.

Parasol began playing music in her hometown of San Francisco yet soon began performing to a wider audience particularly in Europe. After her fourth album, she went on hiatus, moved to Paris, France, where she continued writing songs and collaborating.

Ms. Parasol is slated to release her fifth album, “Tuesday Morning”, this October! The album captures the cool shadowy chic of the Velvet Underground while offering up an elegant take on psych and 60s styled pop like Jacques Dutronc. The album also features a French cover song of Zouzou’s “Ne Cherche Pas'“. Known too for her self-made emblematic cover art, Parasol suggests a very different take on things than her earlier work. “Tuesday Morning” was produced by Parasol and recorded primarily in San Francisco with her long-time engineer/bassist, Mark Pistel (Consolidated / Meat Beat Manifesto) with added writing and production in Paris, France with Marc Ottavi. “Tuesday Morning” also features keyboardist Marc Capelle (American Music Club) throughout as well as drummer, Danny Luehring whom has appeared with her onstage as well as her last three albums.
