We Are Parasols

We Are Parasols is an atmospheric shoegaze band based in Portland, Oregon. The group evolved from a solo project by Jeremy Wilkins, who previously worked on other musical endeavors. The band's core members include Jeremy and his partner D., with Alec contributing as a drummer, although he resides in Atlanta and travels for collaborations. We Are Parasols is known for blending shoegaze with industrial and electronic elements, drawing inspiration from bands like Curve, Cocteau Twins, and Nine Inch Nails. Their music often incorporates themes of existentialism and surreal narratives, as seen in their visually striking music videos.

We Are Parasols have released several albums and EPs, including "Infrastructure," "Inertia," and more recently, "Body Horror." Their music is characterized by dark, atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics. The band's live performances feature a dynamic setup, with D. focusing on vocals and Emma from Vibrissae handling bass and keyboards. We Are Parasols continue to explore new sounds and themes, maintaining a strong presence in the Portland music scene.
