The Parachute Testers Introduce Their Sound with ‘Halfway to Everywhere’

In a musical landscape often driven by urgency and noise, The Parachute Testers offer a different kind of invitation. This group of sonic explorers, made up of musicians from Leeds, Wexford and Ukraine, are set to release their debut album Halfway to Everywhere in October 2025. With the release of its title track, the band present not just a song, but an entire world of sound and feeling.

‘Halfway to Everywhere’ is a gentle unveiling. It is a track built on quiet yearning, elegant restraint and the subtle power of being in-between. From the outset, the song draws listeners into a soundscape rich with ambient electronics, acoustic layers and a cinematic sense of atmosphere. The vocals, both tender and resolute, echo the emotional depth of artists like Mazzy Star, London Grammar and The XX.

There is a deliberate calm in the way the band approaches their music. Their style shares sonic kinship with Elbow, Zero 7 and This Is The Kit, while also nodding to the melodic storytelling of The Beatles. Yet The Parachute Testers bring something all their own. They are storytellers with wings, crafting music that feels both expansive and intimately human.

DULAXI described the track as “a cinematic meditation on movement, identity, and becoming. It marks the arrival of The Parachute Testers not as newcomers, but as artists who already sound like they belong.”

As the debut album’s release draws near, Halfway to Everywhere offers a compelling glimpse into what lies ahead. The Parachute Testers are not simply creating songs, but offering journeys. And this is only the beginning.
