Picture Parlour are an English indie rock band formed in Manchester by Katherine Parlour (vocals and guitar) and Ella Risi (guitar). Their line-up is completed by Kitty Fitz (bass/rhythm guitar), Joey Django (rhythm guitar/bass) and Michael Nash (drums).
It’s surreal to finally be releasing our first ever album, we have played this moment out in our heads repeatedly since we first picked up a guitar, and we can’t wait to share the journey.
The making of this record saw us screaming at each other, holding one another while we cried, and being in complete awe of everyone we’ve worked with on it. We recorded opposite a cemetery in East Iris Studios, Nashville, where we just about dodged being 6 feet under ourselves. It was the most fulfilling, hysterical and unforgettable 3 weeks of our lives, and we hope you guys love this record as much as we loved making it. So enough, and WELCOME TO THE PARLOUR.
The band performed their debut show in December 2022 at the Windmill in Brixton and immediately became regular performers there. The band released their debut single, “Norwegian Wood”, on 19th June 2023, which was followed by “Judgement Day” on 18th October 2023.
The Liverpudlian rock outfit’s debut EP was worth the wait. Singer and front-woman Katherine Parlour has such a distinctive voice and guitarist Ella Risi leads the charge with infectious riffs and ripping solos. With an almost baroque and art-rock feel, the album is both uplifting and nostalgic, with plenty of reflection on the journey which has got this under-appreciated duo (and their backing band) to this point. I think it is only a matter of time before they are commanding far larger venues.
