The upbeat melodic pop songs of singer/songwriter Maren Parusel can turn someone with even the surliest reputation into a purveyor of positive vibes.
Case in point: Pall Jenkins from Black Heart Procession, a band known for creating deep, dark, introspective songs. Jenkins produced Parusel’s debut album, Artificial Gardens, and when their perspectives came together, Parusel’s infectiously happy take took over. The album is all bright harmonies, optimistic lyrics, and dreamy pop.
On the heels of her debut release, Parusel will be heading out on her first tour of the United States. The Germany-born songstress will play at the Yucca Tap Room in Tempe tomorrow, July 6.
Check out more details and the official video for Parusel’s “Kiss You” after the jump.
