Vinyl LP pressing. Parsonsfield is a five-piece alt/folk band that infuses a rowdy, rock-'n'-roll spirit into it's bluegrass and folk influences, blowing away any preconception of what you think banjos and mandolins should sound like. Catch Parsonsfield onstage any night and the band's joy is palpable. They trade instruments, share microphones, and shoot each other big grins. They sing in tight multi-part harmonies, their voices blending like they've been doing this all their lives. That's because Parsonsfield is a family band, not by birth but by choice. And with an album this thrilling, it's only a matter of time before you share their same enthusiasm. Blooming Through The Black is one of the finest roots releases of 2016. "They'll give you rich five-part harmonies one minute, sound like bluegrass on steroids the next, and then rock you over the head with unbearably cool and raucous Celtic rhythms." - No Depression.
