Mice Parade

***Part children's cartoon, part career retrospective, What It Means To Be Left-Handed is the first MICE PARADE album to be released in the band's second decade of existence. Diverging from the pop sensibilities of Mice Parade's most recent successes—Bem-Vinda Vontade and Mice Parade—it is a fresh adventure, all over the map and awash in color; splashes of West-African Highlife mingle with Flamenco, Brazilian Jazz, and the late ‘80s indie rock that band founder ADAM PIERCE was stuck on in high school. Featuring members of the band’s globally-scattered touring outfit—vocalist CAROLINE LUFKIN, drummer DOUG SCHARIN (REX, CODEINE, HiM), and classical guitarist DAN LIPPEL—as well as guests like Swahili vocalist SOMI and Meredith GODREAU of GREGORY & THE HAWK—What It Means To Be Left-Handed showcases the intricate sonics, joyful audio experimentation, and expansive worldview that make Mice Parade one of the most compelling ensembles of our time.
