And Those Who Were Seen Dancing

Description

Based between Toronto and London, Tess Parks has established herself over the years as one of the most unique voices in contemporary psychedelic rock, both through her solo albums and her collaborations with Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre). And Those Who Were Seen Dancing marks her return to solo work nearly nine years after Blood Hot. Written and recorded between London, Toronto, and Los Angeles over a period of more than two years, the album brings together songs, some of which date back over a decade. Blending psych-pop, folk, and dream pop, tracks like WOW, Old Life, Good Morning Glory, and Saint Michael reflect a brighter and more introspective writing style, born from a period of personal doubts, an injury that kept her away from her instruments, and a deep reflection on the necessity to continue creating despite the challenges.
