Niche by Parasite
Niche music from Parasite.
Inspired by all those weird indie records from the 80s and the strangeness that followed on from that, but it's 2025 guys and this is new and cool and niche.
There's the usual bass, guitars and drums, plus some synths, samples from modular weirdness and some clarinet on a couple of tracks.
Lyrically the album tackles stoicism, contemporary issues surrounding meeting people, dementia, love and longing, queueing...
The artwork features some nice niche biscuits. Nice! Niche!
Cover painting by Rosie Phillips, it would look really great on a 12" record sleeve wouldn't it?
