Hives Fives E.P. [EP]

Editorial Reviews
XLR8R
"Startles with its split-personality duel between art-damaged hip-hop beats and music box melodies."

Product Description
After Crain's 1996 dissolution, singer/guitarist Tim Furnish started working with a rotating cast of musicians under the name Parlour. Frequently put on hold while Furnish cycled through Aerial M and The For Carnation, Parlour's recorded output came at a glacial pace. After six stop-start years, the first two official Parlour releases saw the light of day. With this long-accumulated material released and sloughed off, Furnish and Parlour were finally ready to start fresh. And Hives Fives is just that. First of all, Parlour ditched the laptops, broadening instrumentation and expanding into a seven-piece. The result: bigger beats, stronger melodies and a more organic sense of composition. Bass and drums lock into Neu!-like grooves while an array of keyboards and long-time member Connor Bell's (Shedding) guitars swirl in all directions; saxophone and bass clarinet layer thick drones at the very heart of the sound, cementing the instrumental density that is Parlour's trademark. No longer just a solo vehicle for Furnish, Parlour's contributors make the group greater than the sum of its parts.

3 out of 5 stars Nice sound.......2005-05-14

This 20 minute instrumental EP has a nice, flowing sound to it. It kind of reminds me of Stereolab or Monade with no vocals and bass clarinet added. Enjoyable music to let your mind float.
