Parachutes
A quiet, rain-soaked debut of fragile acoustic guitars and earnest falsetto. It captures a specific late-night intimacy that the band would later trade for stadiums.

A quiet, rain-slicked vulnerability defines this debut, which trades the swagger of the late-nineties guitar scene for a fragile, bedroom-scale intimacy. Recorded with producer Ken Nelson, the songs inhabit a world of creaky floorboards and dry acoustic fingerpicking, where the arrangements feel patiently unhurried and the vocals frequently break into a delicate, unvarnished falsetto.
