Parlovr (pronounced either "parlour" or "parlover")[1] is a Canadian indie rock band.[1] Based in Montreal, Quebec, the band consists of vocalist and keyboardist Alex Cooper, vocalist and guitarist Louis David Jackson and drummer Jeremy McCuish.[1][2]

History

Parlovr released its self-titled debut album independently in 2008 before signing to Dine Alone Records, which rereleased it in 2010 concurrently with the EP Hell/Heaven/Big/Love.[1][3] They toured both in Canada and in the US in support of the album, and then took some time off.[4][5]

Parlovr followed up with its second album, Kook Soul, in 2012.[1] Kook Soul, with its dance-friendly beat and soulful lyrics,[6] was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2012 Polaris Music Prize on June 14, 2012.[7][8][9]
