"Octopus Off-Broadway" TR47 CD
Recorded 1998-2001
Released April 2, 2002
This record is comprised of tunes written and recorded between 1996 and 2001. I've produced a number of CDRs titled "Octopus Off-Broadway" that contain old versions/mixes, extra songs, etc. These were either given to friends, sent off to labels as early demos, or sold at a few performances. If you have any of these in possession, thank you for listening to Parlour or at least buying it and passing it on.

"Hives Fives"
TRR82
Parlour ditched the laptops for Hives Fives, broadened the instrumentation
and expanded to a live seven-piece. The result, as desired: bigger beats,
stronger melodies, and a more organic sense of composition. Bass and drums
lock into Neu!-like grooves, while an array of keyboards and guitars swirl
in all directions; saxophone and bass clarinet layer thick drones at the
very heart of the sound, cementing the instrumental density that is Parlour's
trademark. Replacing computers with live players lends each song a newly
warm-blooded adrenaline rush, a relentless forward motion that doesn't
let up. No longer just a solo vehicle for Furnish, Parlour's contributors
make the group greater than the sum of its parts. With a sound like Sonic
Youth on a sugar high, or a Krautrock !!!, or adrenaline-fueled Jacques
Cousteau soundtracks, Parlour are making the most vital, interesting music
of their long career. And nine years in, the Hives Fives EP gives us a
strange feeling that the best is yet to come.
