Parcels Drops New Live Video for “Safeandsound” from Coachella Music Festival
Australian electropop band Parcels, consisting of Jules Crommelin (guitar/vocals), Louie Swain (keyboard), Noah Hill (bass), Patrick Hetherington (keyboard) and Anatole 'Toto' Serret (drums), dropped a new live video for “Safeandsound”.
The band performed and filmed the song at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 11, 2025.
The song was released as the first single of 2025 on March 12, 2025, following the 2024 EP “Leaveyourlove” featuring collaborations with artists including King Stingray, Ximena Sariñana, and Robert Owens.
The track received its first play during BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
They recorded the song live at Golden Retriever Studios in Sydney.
It was written and produced by Jules Crommelin and Patrick Hetherington.
The song will appear on their upcoming third studio album, which is expected to be released this fall.- The band guitarist Jules Crommelin said of the song, “The lyrics were inspired by a podcast I heard called 'The Cloud of Unknowing' by Tom Lutz. He talks about the good side of not knowing; where you are, where you're going, what time it is, your future. He shows a kind of practice in embracing the unknowable of everyday. It really resonated with me, as I often feel quite daunted thinking about what will happen next in my life, so I was writing to myself with a positive framing inspired by that.”
Keyboardist Patrick Hetherington added, “It's very internal for all of us, so personal and so deep, which is sometimes quite uncomfortable. But I guess that's what Parcels is - at least at the moment - all of us having that individual journey, then trying to make a space so we can funnel everybody's experiences into the same world and express it as a celebration.” - source : Apple Music
