I got introduced to this band, the Parlor, from the Crumbs website. They sounded interesting to me. When I saw the video to their song, “You’re In My Eye”, I fell in love with it. So I ended up getting the Parlor’s album, “Our Day In the Sun”, from Itunes. I’m listening to the album now as I type this and this is my second listen. The band lineup includes: Eric Krans and Jen O’ Connor.

As for what genre of music they play on the album, I don’t know. It’s hard to tell what genre of music they play ’cause there are a lot of different stuff going on. There maybe folk, acoustic, rock n’ roll, etc. A mixture of that stuff. I would tell you for sure that the album has a 50’s & 60’s influence. They could remind you of the Mamas and the Papas, Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds, Janis Joplin, etc.

On the album, both Eric and Jen take turns singing the lead vocals on songs. You’ll hear a variety of instruments going on. The songwriting is spot on. The songs are done with heart and there’s a lot of passion. This is the type of music that you would hear at Woodstock ’69. Yes, The Parlor’s music has a psychedelic feeling to it.

A few of my favorite tracks on the album are “You’re In My Eye”, “Time of the Dragon Flies”, and “Seabed of the Sun”. Jen’s vocals will send chills down your spine in some of these songs. If they keep going with their music, they could be huge if they wanted.

I believe, you can hear the whole album, here.

I’m definitely a new fan of theirs. So I’ll be looking forward to seeing a show of theirs sometime.
