“A rest note is still a note,” Rykarda says cryptically about the track. “Often it’s the silent pauses that suggest the power to come.”

Tuesday Morning offers a look into the personal metamorphosis Parasol underwent since taking a hiatus after her last album. Themes of recovery, the relationship between predators and prey, and entanglements are explored lyrically throughout the record, showcasing Parasol’s skills as not only a physical collagist, but a sonic collagist too.

Tuesday Morning captures the cool shadowy chic of the Velvet Underground while offering up an elegant take on psych and 60s styled pop like Jacques Dutronc. The album also features a French cover song of Zouzou’s ‘Ne Cherche Pas’. Known too for her self-made emblematic cover art, Parasol suggests a very different take on things than her earlier work. Tuesday Morning was produced by Parasol and recorded primarily in San Francisco with her long-time engineer/bassist, Mark Pistel (Consolidated / Meat Beat Manifesto) with added recording and production in Paris, France with Marc Ottavi and like her earlier albums also features keyboardist Marc Capelle (American Music Club) and drummer, Danny Luehring.
