"Electricity For Dreams"
Release Date August 31st, 2018
Our third full length album. A mixed bag of stories projected onto the backdrop of a coastal world that gets blanketed by a calm yet chilly layer of ocean air, misting in the street lights. The pulse of invincibility in your bones when it is declared that the night is young. Love fading and then forever being renewed.
Recorded in March of 2018 in Oakland, Ca at Guerrilla Studios with Myles Boisen. Jason Vanderford - Lead Vocals, Guitar, Rt Goodrich - Drums and Cajon, Laela Peterson-Stolen - Violin, Viola, Back Up Vocals, JD Limelight - Accordion, Back up Vocals, Tim Bush - Bass
The story of an elder instilling confidence and wisdom into the consciousness of a son or daughter. The world is a trickster, full of wolves in sheeps clothing. Know your strength, listen to your heart.. understand when the devil is asking you to dance. Laela Peterson-Stolen - Violin Tim Bush - Bass Robin Goodrich - Drums Jason Vanderford - Guitar Rebecca Roudman - Cello Recorded at Allegiant Studios in Fairfax by Danny Uvilevski Mixes and Overdubs at Secret Studios by Jonathan Burnside

"Vultures and Weasels"
"Mick Jagger's Heart"
Release Date May 27th, 2016
Mick Jagger's Heart is a reference to "Dear Doctor" by the Rolling Stones. I was intrigued by the idea that a person's heart could hurt so bad that a person could be driven to the point where they are asking a doctor to physically remove their heart. And so this song was born from these thoughts and added to the Junk Parlor repertoire. We hope you enjoy it!
Recorded at Allegiant Studio, San Rafael, California in September of 2014. Engineered by Danny Uzilevsky. We then mixed and mastered the song with Jonathan Burnside at a secret location in March of 2016. Guest musicians are Danny Uvilevski on electric lead guitar, Chip Roland on organ, Jaleh Lauran Bjelde and Jesse Adams on back up vocals.
Release Date July, 2015
