Melbourne's four-piece Parsnip recently announced details of Behold; Their new album, due out April 26 on Upset The Rhythm, returns with a new song, “Turn To Love.” This time the band looks to spirituals for divine inspiration. The piece expands on an English translation of a poem by the Indian saint Mirabai, which appears in Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. Parsnip's energetic, DIY punk sound collides with Mirabai's message of love being the key to finding the divine, a sentiment echoed in the song's closing lines.
The music video for “Turn To Love” is as eclectic as its inspiration. A burst of color during the chorus evokes the transition to the magical land of Oz. Influences from photographer Serge Lutens, the Oskar Schlemmer Triadic Ballet, Yohji Yamamoto's fashion campaigns, and even costumes from the Ziegfeld Follies and American circuses (1870s-1950s) all combine to create a visually stunning accompaniment to the song.
On the Parsnips Paris Rebel Richens piece she says “Imagine what the world would be like if everyone stopped for a moment or two every day and turned their attention to the heart. All one really wants is love. This song is a plea, for whatever you do on the outside, the most profound changes must be made on the inside. It is not a weakness, if nothing else, the choice of love is courageous and wise.”
