Parlour - Hives Fives

Review by Ivan Pidov

Parlour's latest album, Hives Fives, showcases the band's unique blend of experimental rock and ambient soundscapes. The album opens with the track "Kinetic Armatures," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate guitar work and hypnotic rhythms.

The album's standout track is "Hives Fives," which has a driving beat and catchy melody that will stick in your head long after listening. "Octopus Off Broadway" is another highlight, with its dreamy, atmospheric sound and haunting vocals.

Parlour's experimentation with different sounds and textures is evident throughout the album, with tracks like "Plexus" featuring distorted, glitchy beats and "Pillars of Creation" incorporating electronic elements.
