Our Take

PARLIAMENT's debut album, Osmium, is a funky, mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of the universe. The word "outlandish" doesn't even begin to cover it. With its blend of psychedelic soul, intergalactic grooves, and sheer musical virtuosity, this album is a true trip to another dimension.

From the moment the opening track "I Call My Baby Pussycat" kicks in, you know you're in for something special. The funky basslines, swirling keyboards, and infectious vocal harmonies all come together in a sonic tapestry that is as weird as it is wonderful.

Tracks like "Little Ole Country Boy" and "Come In Out Of The Rain" showcase the band's ability to switch between hard-hitting funk and introspective soul with ease. And then there's the epic closer "The Silent Boatman," a sprawling, 10-minute journey through space and time that will leave you breathless.

But what truly sets Osmium apart is its sheer audacity. This is an album that doesn't just push the boundaries of what funk music can be - it obliterates them. With its weird time signatures, unconventional song structures, and mind-bending production, PARLIAMENT have created a masterpiece that is as daring as it is delightful.

So strap in, dear reader, and prepare yourself for a trip like no other. Osmium is a wild ride that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. And isn't that what truly great art is all about?
