Albums of the Year 2025: #55

Loved is Parcels' third album, exuberant and euphoric, yet also reflective. It's a record of unity – with each other, with the listeners, in the grooves – and that's indisputable.

"We do have a purpose as a band to our audience: we're giving people joy," says guitarist/vocalist Jules Crommelin. "I see it as spirit, and it’s an incredibly powerful thing."

The album includes tracks like "Safeandsound" and "Yougotmefeeling." Parcels are back and brighter and more pop than ever.
