Its songs were built in the contained spaces of an East Village apartment and the open humidity of Tulum, initially seeming like disparate projects with no clear direction. Only in retrospect did their shared disposition come into focus.

Parcels does not shy away from abundance. The Australian quintet's songs often feature a myriad of guitars, rivaling piano and synths, slinky basslines, pulsing drums and four (yes, four) vocalists.

CEVIL has unleashed a pulsating anthem with her fresh single "BREATHING LIKE I'M RUNNING", and it's nothing short of a visual spectacle. The music video is an electro-pop fever dream, brimming with playful energy. It features mechanical choreographies and an aesthetically tight staging, all peppered with a humorous undertone. Teaming up with visionary director Lukas Valentin, this collaboration brings CEVIL's wild ideas to life with an impressive visual flair.
