Parachute Words

Like so many musicians of his generation, Martino Gasparrini's musical endeavours started on a laptop. His first primitive attempt at any sort of musical statement came in the form of an album at age eleven. This involved 18 terrible tracks made with GarageBand loops and the laptop's microphone. Going forward quite a few years, Martino started uploading more serious guitar-driven albums onto Bandcamp. With the project's name taken from a The Robot Ate Me song, Parachute Words became his main moniker for releasing music. After leaving probably too many lofi Bandcamp albums in his wake, the latest album “One More Time With Feeling” has been the first foray into recording in a proper studio. In 2020, starting with "Lockdown" the band has started releasing singles on a monthly basis.

Taking inspiration from American acts like Frankie Cosmos, Car Seat Headrest and (Sandy) Alex G, the London live iteration of the band has been playing live for the last three years, with Ollie Cox on bass, Tony Lea on guitar, George Barker on drums and Martino on vocals and guitar.

Spotify bios' can read like a block of self-congratulatory text, so hopefully, this block of self-congratulatory text isn't too suffocating. If you do any questions about me or the music I make feel free to contact me on the band's socials.
