Elemental is the debut album from bleakgaze outfit, Parse. Equal parts haunting and distorted, years of environmental and internal turmoil are expressed via rich and contrasting musical layers. Over 11 tracks, weaving together complex time signatures, simple chords, and vivid sonic imagery, the album tells a morose story of love and loss. And the pain of living in dark times.

Track 1 from the album, ELEMENTAL, by PARSE.
