The Parachute Testers - Halfway To Everywhere The Parachute Testers
180g Cosmic Black Vinyl LP
Genre-blurring collective The Parachute Testers introduce a deeply atmospheric sound with the release of their forthcoming debut album, Halfway to Everywhere on October 30th 2026 and a UK, IRL & EU tour in April & May 2027.
Blending grounded, earthy folk with ambient and indie textures, the band create music that feels both intimate and expansive.
Their sound is defined by soaring, emotive female vocals layered over a rich interplay of acoustic instrumentation and subtle electronics. Warm guitar lines weave beneath shimmering synths, while contributions from Colm Mac Con Iomaire (The Frames / Swell Season) add cinematic depth through expressive string arrangements.
Formed by musicians from Wexford IRL and Leeds UK, the group brings together diverse influences into a cohesive and transportive sonic identity. Their music draws on the emotion and spaciousness of modern indie and dream-folk, while maintaining a strong melodic core and organic sensibility.
