Ryan Groff - People In the Midwest
(PAR-CD-105) CD Regular Price: $10.00
Debut solo album from local music scene hero Ryan Groff, vocalist and guitarist for Americana-Folk-Rock act Elsinore. Joyful, transcendent songstories with a spiritual vibe, some sporting a sweet '70s soft-rock feelin', others exploring ’00s experimental pop idealism...

Doleful Lions - Song Cyclops Volume 2
(PAR-CD-104) CD Regular Price: $10.00
New collection of lo-fi bliss, winsome melodies, and paranormal subject matter from Doleful Lions' Jonathan Scott. 22 songs include handful of covers versions, songs by The Beach Boys, The Crystals, The Misfits, The Descendents, while Jim cannot believe that he's finally heard a Close Lobsters cover! Truly a window into Jonathan's trebly musical soul. PITCHFORK: “Doleful Lions aim to purr and meow their way onto your lap in the damned most adorable way possible.” UNCUT MAGAZINE: “Neo-psychedelic orch-pop, with chiming guitars and close vocal harmonies. The sound of dreams."

Mas Rapido! - Pity Party
(PAR-CD-103) CD Regular Price: $10.00
Second album from the artists formerly known as Toothpaste 2000, veteran guitar pop trio from Seattle, and part of the Parasol family since the days when Frank and Donna were known as Cowboy & Spingirl. The sound of Mas Rapido! manifests itself like a handful of lost '60s and '70s radio-pop classics, driven by the pervasive power of rock-n-roll.

Steve Almaas & Ali Smith - You Showed Me
(PAR-CD-102) CD Regular Price: 10.00
Second album from Steve Almaas (Suicide Commandos, Beat Rodeo, solo artist) and his significant other Ali Smith (Speedball Baby). Ali Smith's musical background is steeped in punk, rockabilly and most notably, the blues stomp of Speedball Baby. Steve Almaas was in on the ground floor of punk rock in the late-70s, as a founding member of Minneapolis’ Suicide Commandos, as well as a precursor to alt-country with his band Beat Rodeo during the 80s. As with their self-titled debut (PARCD084) their shared love of American song manifests itself yet again on their second album, ‘You Showed Me’.

Elanors - Movements
(PAR-CD-101) CD Regular Price: $10.00
‘‘Movements’ is the new album from Chicago’s Elanors, vocalists Noah (piano) and Adriel Harris (guitar) backed by the rhythm section of Daniel Johnson and Rodrigo Palma (both members of Judah Johnson). This, their second album, is a collection of piano-driven orchestral-pop and disarming folkrock invention. All Music Guide: "The eight electronic nocturnes here are soothing, soaring, and ultimately unsettling; mood music for the paranoid and disaffected."

The 1900s - Plume Delivery EP
(PAR-CD-100) CD Regular Price: $7.50
As old friends, lovers and ex-lovers, The 1900s harness the resulting fury to build psychedelic pop music, most notably inspired by The Zombies, Fleetwood Mac, Belle & Sebastian, Donovan, Tommy James, and Velvet Underground.
