Despite being friends with Jordan, Alex and Beth I feel like I can approach Parade of Youth with an air of objectivity because I am completely out of my element with this style of pop music. Without offending, my ignorant ear hears a strong 80’s style production from the drums, to the reverb-y guitars, to the ethereal keyboards. Jordan Caress carries the record with her voice – an instrument that evokes serious pain, forelorn longing and an underlying strength. It’s impressive to say the least.
