Parachute – Under Control
 |
  |
Is it too early to think about the summer songs of 2009? The fledgling Charlottesville, VA quintet Parachute’s “Under Control” is an early qualifier, if not. Opening with a brief, dual guitar-and-keyboard instrumental exploration, it quickly transforms as infectious piano chords and Will Anderson’s soaring vocals join in to make it an irresistible pop-soul gathering. Organ stabs, whirling guitar interplay and sing-along group backing vocals join in for the chorus, as proverbial drinks in red plastic cups are raised and iPhones are illuminated and waved in communal celebration. If you like the track, check out the album.
