\"\"<\/p>\n

The new album<\/span> \u2018Dos\u2019 <\/b>is the follow up to the Madrid duo\u2019s (Diego Garc\u00eda<\/strong> & Alex de Lucas<\/strong>)<\/span> a<\/b>cclaimed 2016 debut <\/span>\u2018Los Ni\u00f1os Sin Miedo\u2019<\/b> and shows the band taking an evolutionary step that finds them sounding stronger and more realized than ever before, from their original characteristics of<\/span> stripped-down melodic garage rock to a fresh sonic perspective. Produced by\u00a0Tom Furse <\/strong>(The Horrors) and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer<\/strong> (Parquet Courts, Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, Temples); The Parrots<\/strong> find themselves experimenting with more modern production soundscapes and electronic grooves. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 11 track album will also include the previous single <\/span>\u2018Maltido\u2019<\/b> (featuring multi-million selling Spanish rap super star\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>C. Tangana<\/strong>)<\/span> and the track-listing is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Rolling in on an unbreakable motorik groove, The Parrots<\/strong> second album – <\/strong><\/span>Dos<\/i><\/strong> –<\/strong> starts very much on the front foot. <\/span>You Work All Day And Then You Die<\/strong><\/span><\/i> is a bold statement of intent, a signpost at the side of the road that tells you straight about the futility of our modern lives spent chained to the work station. As the chant-along chorus goes, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to find some peace of mind\u201d<\/strong><\/em> – a line that feels like a reaction to the last year and half on planet Earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    From <\/span>You Work All Day And Then You Die<\/i><\/strong>\u2019s relentless pulse to closer <\/span>Romance<\/i><\/strong>\u2019s end of the night celebration of friendship and survival, <\/span>Dos<\/span><\/i> is an all consuming, life-affirming joyous noise. Where The Parrots<\/strong> debut – <\/span>Los Ni\u00f1os Sin Miedo<\/i><\/strong> – howled and rattled like the garage bands that had inspired them in their formative years in Madrid, <\/span>Dos <\/i><\/strong>was conceived by Diego Garcia<\/strong><\/a> (guitar, vocals) and Alex de Lucas<\/strong><\/a> (bass) as a chance to showcase their wider ambitions. That desire to expand the band\u2019s sound led them to working with producer Tom Furse<\/strong> from The Horrors<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
