The sound they make is impeccable, that impossible-not-to-shake-to electro funk created by LA's Spazzkid and smothered with sweet acoustic caress and the ever so sweet voice of Susan Park. My Parasol has been creating adventure and what can only be described as a union of holy matrimony between the sunny California melody with the witty and hip electronic soundscape that seems modern and retro all at the same time. With their recent release My Parasol has geared up to rise to a position of ever growing accolades amongst its peers in the LA music scene. My Parasol continues on with the effortless grace and fun-in-the-sun attitude to bring you music that touches your soul and shakes your hips all in a day's work.

Here’s a music video for “After Cards” by LA-based film maker Jean-Pierre Caner. Footage taken from the ever generous Internet Archive. Jean-Pierre makes these stunning videos and film collages which we love. So it was really cool to work with him and hash out ideas. A good dose of do-si-doing juxtaposed by some underaged joyriding pretty much sums up everything doesn’t it? Enjoy!
A good friend of ours who founded an amazing organization called Joya Scholars recently approached us to see if we could create a song to promote their campaign. Of course we were happy to contribute. We initially didn’t know what vision we had for the song. But we knew that we just wanted to have fun and to do whatever felt right to us along the way. At the end, this song turned out to be one of the most enjoyable projects we’ve ever worked on. It was such a good exercise for us in letting go of control and letting the art breathe. Hope you guys can sense it too. Enjoy!
Music by Susanna Park and Mark Redito.
