Hard-rock act the Parlor Mob will release their fifth LP, Dark Hour<\/em><\/a>, on August 16th via Brittania Row Recordings\/BMG. The New Jersey band previewed the album with the blazing lead single \u201cSomeday.\u201d<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo I look stupid? Who are you \u2018crazy\u2019?\u201d frontman Mark Melicia belts on the stadium-tailored track. \u201cIf you\u2019re the devil, baby, hell feels amazing.\u201d The singer alternates between a bluesy croon and a rhythmic delivery that flirts with modern hip-hop. The arrangement also expands beyond capital-R rock, layering in electronic pulses and buzzing synth tones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The band paired \u201cSomeday\u201d with a lo-fi video featuring long stretches of motorcycle drives, sped-up performance footage and random shots of the band members\u2019 faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Dark Hour<\/em>, the Parlor Mob worked with producer Malay (Frank Ocean, Zayn), founder of Brittania Row, a collaboration that pushed the band to experiment with non-rock sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe aimed to add modern perspective to old school musicality,\u201d Melicia said in a statement. \u201cWe asked ourselves, \u2018How can we bring rock \u2018n\u2019 roll into the current zeitgeist, so it reflects what\u2019s going on in other genres?\u2019 We embraced dynamics, tones, synthesizers and textures more synonymous with hip-hop or R&B production than rock. The duality extends to the lyrics. We were exploring the idea that light and darkness run through everything and exist for everybody. On all of the songs, darkness outlines the light moments as hope and light outline the dark portions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He also noted that the band and producer felt an immediate chemistry in the studio.<\/span> \u201cMalay is from a completely different musical world than we are,\u201d he said. \u201cOn paper, it\u2019s strange for a guy who mostly does pop and R&B to work with a rock band, but there was incredible synchronicity between us. We met the right dude who could take us where we need to go and someone we could grow with. It was exactly what we needed at exactly the right time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Parlor Mob will promote the record this fall on a U.S. tour supporting Reignwolf, in addition to festival slots at Louder Than Life and Aftershock. They will announce a run of headlining dates soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
