Cale Parks

All Music Guide:

Cale Parks got his start as the drummer in the marching band-influenced indie group Aloha. As the band worked on its fourth album, Some Echoes (Polyvinyl Records, 2006), Parks was busy at work on a collection of ambient tunes. The tracks piled up and eventually became a full-length album, Illuminated Manuscript, which was released on Polyvinyl in September 2006. Parks returned two years later with Sparklace, influenced by the electronic pop of the '80s and '90s, followed two years later by To Swift Mars.
