Born and raised in Toronto, Canada. London-based singer-songwriter Canadian psych-pop singer/songwriter Tess Parks made a bold entrance as one of Alan McGee’s early signings to his 359 Music label in the early 2010s. Her smoky voice and tuneful, lo-fi sound seemed like a strong fit for the label’s aesthetic and her 2013 debut, Blood Hot, earned her some international acclaim. Although her solo follow-up was slow to come, Parks soon found an even wider audience through her musical partnership with Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe, with whom she made two acclaimed duo records in the latter half of the decade. In 2022, nine years after releasing her debut, Parks returned with her sophomore LP, And Those Who Were Seen Dancing, on the Fuzz Club label.
