The Parlophonics haben sich als dreiköpfige Studio Rockband etabliert, die trotz räumlicher Distanz perfekt zusammen harmonieren. Hugh Macdonald, ein Schotte aus Brighton, Robert Horvath ein Münchner in Dresden und Fernando Perdomo aus North Hollywood zelebrieren ihre Liebe zur britischen Rock- und Popmusik, ohne dabei auf die Unterstützung eines großen Plattenlabels zurückgreifen zu können.

Das zweite Album „Dying of the Light“ entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit internationalen Künstlern wie Marcella Detroit (Shakespears Sister, Eric Clapton), dem Ausnahmedrummer Denny Seiwell (Paul McCartney, Billy Joel) und dem ukrainischen Blues Musiker Max Tovstyi, der 2022 im kriegserschütterten Kiew seine Tracks für das Album eingespielt hat. Das Album wurde von Grammy Award Gewinner Zach Ziskin gemischt und gemastert.

Die wunderschöne und virtuose Covergestaltung stammt von Klaus Voormann, einem renommierten Künstler, der vor allem für das Design des Beatles-Albumcovers “Revolver” und als ausnahme Bassist für Lennon, Harrison oder Starr bekannt ist.

about

Dying Of The Light is a brilliant album. It is full of incredible power pop, rock and alternative music. The band is clearly influenced by The Beatles (The Beatles recorded for the Parlophone record label, one can see the origin of their name), but also influenced by Paul Weller, Oasis, Badfinger and others. That is not to say The Parlophonics sound like their influences, because they do have their own distinct style and sound, but the influences can be felt.

Their songs, however, are absolutely stunning. The addition of Marcella Detroit is pure genius. Her angelic vocals are used so beautifully and add so much soul and depth to the already brilliant songs. Songs like “Underneath The Blue Sky” sound familiar and yet very new. The band takes their time in rolling out the song, and it grows as it goes along. The song leaves you breathless by the end. Or “Heaven Can Wait” (which features Denny Seiwell on drums) is an outstanding piece of bluesy rock. Again, the band just rolled the song out and it is hard to believe that it was not recorded live off the floor. It is a wonderful song. But these two songs are just two examples of an album full of melodic and well produced and arranged songs.

Dying Of The Light is one of the biggest surprises and treats of the year. The Parlophonics have produced an incredible album. Even the packaging, which includes a drawing by Beatle friend Klaus Voorman (he designed Revolver and the Anthology sets) on the front sleeve. The album is infectious. When it is over, one might just start the whole thing again. Dying Of The Light is absolutely wonderful and the band and their friends have a great deal to be proud of.

about

The Parlophonics Germany

The Parlophonics is an alternative rock band making brilliant Power pop/rock despite having never been in the same room with each other. If anything, distance has only added grace and intention to the band’s sound, which is based in the classic British pop and rock of the 60s and 70s.

Robert Horvath, Fernando Perdomo, and Hugh Macdonald have released their debut album A Day in The Life in 2021.
