Four months on and not a week goes by without me having a re-listen, a real bundle of emotions with equal part's of hope and sadness and plenty of wry wit to boot. - Matthew
Award-winning songwriter Mel Parsons returns with her brand new album Sabotage, and it's a stunner. Dipping into darker dimensions than found in her previous work, Sabotage finds Parsons in a contemplative mood, with sadness giving way to hope, and hope giving way to sadness in equal measure. It's absolutely gorgeous stuff, with our peoples champion of folk laying her heart out for all to hear. - Flying Out
Sabotage is the Lyttleton-based artist’s sixth album and fans have already been given a sneak peak of the record, by way of the singles ‘Little Sadness’ and ‘Offer Down’. The album, recorded in Lyttleton at Basement Studio and co-written and co-produced with Josh Logan, sees a contemplative Parsons skillfully weaving together a tapestry of ethereal and hypnotic soundscapes. The songs are raw, and at times dark – perhaps a reflection of the time in which they started to emerge.
