PARSNIP are a fantastic Australian group. Their sophomore album ‘Behold’ (out now on Upset The Rhythm), is a testament to Parsnip at their most creative, catchy and collaborative. ‘Behold’ showcases the multi-talents of all four members, with spirited performances adding sparkle to the thirteen tracks. Paris Richens lets the bass playfully roam. Carolyn Hawkins tumbles, feeling into the drum rumble. Stella Rennex’s guitar soars alongside her saxophone work whilst Rebecca Liston tenderly attends to an animated keyboard. Everyone sings amidst this lush canopy.
On ‘Behold’, Parsnip explores consciousness’s inner and outer realms with quick wits and some seriously quality jangle and jolt. ‘The Light’ is a whip-smart workout, sprouting naturally from the propulsive nature of their debut album ‘When the Tree Bears Fruit’ (Trouble In Mind, 2019). Drawing comparisons with Dolly Mixture, Sara Goes Pop and Look Blue Go Purple, Parsnip is an animated ensemble full of life, emotional complexity and humour. The laughter in the dark is real, but then the sun rises, and we must meet the day. Even the flowers turn their faces. Behold!

GRAZIA just released their debut EP, “In Poor Taste,” (Feel It Records), written and recorded by Heather Dunlop and Lindsay Corstorphine. Often referential, In Poor Taste pulls inspiration from the high and low brow, but mostly the low. Grazia pays homage to everything from The Fall to cheap lingerie brands in a campy pastiche of 80s new wave and pop. In Poor Taste is about having fun while delving into your worst, core self.
