"Within six months of forming in high school in Byron Bay and just a handful of gigs, Parcels packed their bags and moved to Berlin. The band's five members were barely out of their teens with no real plan; it was purely vibes-based, as vocalist and guitarist Jules Crommelin remembers: It's the inevitable small town [thing] you either stay forever or you leave as quick as possible."
"Working with Daft Punk felt like a university degree of lessons, teaching the young band how to approach and refine their craft. It was just an explosion of everything how to record, how to put instruments together, how precise to be, Crommelin says. They are just absolutely so tapped into detail, and really focusing on this infectiousness of music and just getting it right and things just having magic."
Parcels formed in high school in Byron Bay and moved to Berlin within six months after only a handful of gigs. The five members—Jules Crommelin, Anatole Toto Serret, Louie Swain, Noah Hill and Patrick Hetherington—were barely out of their teens when they relocated. Their 2015 self-released debut EP attracted French label Kitsuné, which signed them. A year later Daft Punk attended their first Paris gig and invited Parcels to their studio, producing the 2017 single "Overnight," which became Daft Punk's final production. The studio collaboration taught the band recording precision and arrangement skills. Parcels released a self-titled debut album in 2018 and followed with the double album Day/Night.
