After carving out a name for himself as one of the most charismatic and multi-talented acts on the local scene, Jed Parsons returns today with his highly-anticipated sophomore album, Brunch.

A blend of indie-pop and rock, with threads of romantic intimacy, comedy and eccentricity; you can listen to Brunch HERE.

Championed by Radio Hauraki and a darling of the bNets, Parsons has already released four tracks from the record - Feeling Sad, Sad Together, She’s The One and Playstation and Porn. They sit alongside six new songs, including the album’s focus track Get Desperate, which funnily enough, nearly didn’t quite make the cut.

“Usually, if a song hasn’t organically found its final form in a timely fashion I’d tell it to piss off and move on, but there was something about the guitar part that I couldn’t let go. It ended up being a song about the complacency of a middle-class loveless relationship, where the only passion left is driven by lack of income and other boring problems,” says Parsons.

A jack of all trades, Parsons takes sole writing credit on Brunch and shares production credits with Josh Logan and Lee Prebble. He performs all instruments on most tracks, while also enlisting the talents of well-known musicians Aaron Stewart (Fly My Pretties, Mel Parsons), Miharo Gregory (L.A.B), Oliver Devlin (Hans Pucket), Josh Logan and Tom Knowles.

The album was recorded and mixed by Lee Prebble at the famed Surgery Studios in Wellington.

Parsons sound is a culmination of his rich and varied background as a touring musician and builds on the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album Midnight Feast, which earned him a nomination for Auckland Live Best Independent Debut at the 2019 Taite Music Prize.

“If you’re a fan of upbeat indie-pop, then you might already be aware of Kiwi muso Jed Parsons. But if not, he’s undoubtedly about to become one of your new favourite artists…” - Tone Deaf, Australia
