One of Aotearoa’s favourite touring acts, award-winning indie-folk artist Mel Parsons is touring to Aotearoa celebrating the release of her critically acclaimed new album Slow Burn which debuted at #3 in the Official Top 40 album charts and #2 in the Top 20 NZ album charts.
“By name and nature, Slow Burn, the new album from alt-folk storyteller Mel Parsons, is pure platonic poison” 4 stars – Rolling Stone AU/NZ
Parsons’ tour kicked off early October and says “It’s been a long couple of years for everyone so it’s an absolute buzz to finally be getting back on stage sharing music with audiences again… I’m so excited about this new record and bringing it to life with the band.”
Moody & nostalgic, the Slow Burn record was produced at LOHO in Ōtautahi by multi-instrumentalist Josh Logan. Parsons’ is joined by her long-time band on the album with cousin Jed Parsons on drums and backing vocals, Aaron Stewart on bass, and Logan playing guitars, piano and backing vocals.
The album includes stand-out tracks ‘Carry On’, ‘Slow Burn’ & Tired of Being You. Now as the Lyttleton-based artist kicks off her nationwide tour, she’s also delighted fans with an exquisitely shot video for another of the record’s highlights, ‘Failure’.
“Mel Parsons is in the same class as Reb, Nadia, Marlon, Delaney and Tami, those we identify immediately by their first name only. So she’s simply Mel. And she’s terrific. Again” – Graham Reid, Elsewhere
