Parachute - Parachute

Vinyl LP pressing. Parachute is the fifth studio album for the band; the album was produced by Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Dawes, Tom Waits, Modest Mouth, Norah Jones, Josh Ritter, Punch Brothers). All songs were written by Will Anderson except "Ocean" and "Talk to Me" by Will Anderson and Jackson Morgan. Fans and critics alike are no stranger to Anderson's impeccable ability to connect as a songwriter, with Billboard hailing that he has a "knack for writing emotionally connecting, hook-laden songs that linger in the brain for days' as well as Idolator calling the band's past songs, "well-crafted and infectious." Parachute is Will Anderson (vocals, guitar), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), and Christopher "Kit" French (saxophone, keyboards). Back when they were in high school, they spent nearly every afternoon in Anderson's basement, dreaming up songs showing a deep affinity for classic pop, heart-felt rock, and tuneful blue-eyed soul. The band quickly began landing gigs locally and soon gained a following at the nearby University of Virginia. As their inaugural release under the name Parachute, Losing Sleep debuted at #2 on the Billboard Digital Albums Chart and climbed to #40 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Over the next few years, along with releasing The Way It Was and Overnight (which shot to the #3 spot on iTunes), Parachute toured with such artists as Kelly Clarkson, Gavin DeGraw and Matt Kearney, in addition to three sold out headlining tours. Now, after a decade of touring internationally and turning out hit singles like the platinum "She Is Love" (#1 at iTunes), the gold "Kiss Me Slowly," "Forever And Always," and the infectious smash single "Without You" from the 2016 album Wide Awake, Parachute is set to have an exciting 2019 with the release of their self-titled album. In April, they will embark on The Young Tour 2019 which will travel throughout 30+ cities across the United States.
