Algernon Cadwallader - Parrot Flies 12" (Hot Green)

It is hard to come across music that inspires these days. "Parrot Flies" is inspirational in the sense that it does whatever it wants and is influenced by more than just Emo or Indie giving nods to Jazz, Blues and Post-Punk while retaining the sound Algernon Cadwallader is known for. This album is honest, clear about what it wants to get across and unafraid to push its own boundaries when it needs to. They are not over-ambitious with their goal here. Subtlety is the word that best defines this as when they choose to go off the deep-end they aren’t doing it just to do it. There is a purpose behind every movement and every movement is a purpose. Here’s to making ends meet and making those ends meet up just when they need to and not when you want them to. - Sputnik Music
