PARADE - Lightning Hit the Trees (2025) [Hi-Res]

London-based art collective PARADE presents their debut mixtape Lightning Hit The Trees — a spontaneous, layered project recorded in just two weeks inside a shipping container. Inspired by Dadaism, cinema, and avant-garde music, the release blends live instrumentation with electronic textures into a “hyper-real” sonic canvas shaped by the collective spirit of its eight members. The sound is marked by an eerie, cinematic tone, unconventional mixing, and a concept of “light with no shadow.” Influences include Wim Wenders, Juergen Teller, Velvet Underground, Radio Dept., Scott Walker, Magliano, Soft Machine, This Heat, Pixies, John Cassavetes, Domenico Gnoli, the Dadaists, Judy Garland, Cindy Lee, Arca, Bette Davis, and Sun Ra.
