PARADE have shared another preview of their forthcoming debut mixtape, Lightning Hit The Trees in the form of new single, "Reach".
While most of the mixtape was recorded in a shipping container in Forest Hill, "Reach" was made in a house in Nunhead where a number of the members were living. The new track arrives alongside news of a release show in London at Portico Gallery on 10 July.
Lightning Hit The Trees was entirely written, produced, engineered, and mixed by the band in just two weeks.
Lightning Hit The Trees is due for release on 11 July via their own imprint Appointment 1, and is available to pre-save now.
