VIDEO PREMIERE: We Are Parasols | Hold Me Fire.


We are excited to premiere the brand-new video for “Hold Me Fire” by Portland-based trio We Are Parasols. “Hold Me Fire” is taken from the band’s newly released EP, No Center Line. We Are Parasols are known for their dreamy darkwave style and “Hold Me Fire” is a perfect example of their chameleon-like ability to blend dystopian atmospheres with a haunting dream pop edge. They weave this signature vibe throughout all 4 songs on the new EP as they explore the hazy, possibly non-existent lines between life and death, dreams and reality.
