Tom Gallo is the host of Look At My Records! on Radio Free Brooklyn.

Almost a year after Parrot Dream released their long-awaited debut album, Light Goes, the group has returned with a powerful addendum of sorts—an EP titled Light Goes B-Sides, which as you may be able to gather, is comprised of three songs that didn’t make the cut on their 2018 debut.

While in many cases ending up on the cutting room floor may be indicative of lesser quality, that’s not the case here. Rather, their omission from Light Goes allows this three-song collection to have a powerful life of its own, while still complementing its predecessor’s broader sonic stylings.
