Like A Parrot Forms Royal Tongues, Releases “The Balance”

If you have been following the blog over the past few months, you should already be up to speed on the production/writing duo of Like A Parrot.

Gammella commented on their recording habits; “We are always writing new music. Our goal was to write 50 songs this year, while still working other jobs. Our next goal is to write at least 100 songs in a year when we are doing nothing but music.” In the past year, they have recorded with the likes of Bianca Dyrland of ARIA, with future collaborations set to include Dan Erickson and The Spin Wires.
