A hostile and abrasive slab of sensory destroying anthems, “A Young Person’s Guide To” features 10 thoroughly crafted blasts through the psyche of this crazed Aussie quintet. Applying a similar approach to the writing process of their previous records; organic and old-school, King Parrot adopted a new approach to production in the studio. Carefully crafting their sound and leaving no stone-unturned when it came to delivering the final product, this is the most complete, aggressive and urgent King Parrot have ever sounded. Pulling the new record together was a meticulously creative endeavour steered by guitarist Andrew Livingstone-Squires and vocalist Matt Young who comments “Throughout the mixing process we ensured that we got every element where we wanted it. Guitar and bass tones were experimented with until we found exactly what we wanted, the drum sounds were just right, and the performance was executed solidly. Vocally I rehearsed a lot so that when I recorded it was a breeze.” The first single and video “Fuck You and the Horse Your Rode in on” will be released digitally worldwide on Friday February 7 with an accompanying music video. On the same day, the band will kick off their huge European and UK tour in Berlin in support of Pantera and Power Trip for 11 shows. Following these dates, King Parrot will be joining death metal legends Master for a further 24 dates around Europe through March. Recorded at Melbourne’s Dangertone studios with engineer Luke Walton, it’s the first full length album since 2017’s “Ugly Produce” and the first new music since the “Holed Up in The Lair” EP in 2020. The new video for “Fuck You And The Horse Your Rode In On” was constructed by longtime video producer Dan Farmer of Farmwalker Films who has been responsible for the majority of the band’s revered music videos including the Australian Music Video finalist “Shit on The Liver”.
