After forming at high school in Byron Bay, the Australian band’s nostalgic, disco-funk sound has been streamed more than 1bn timesGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailWithin six months of forming in high school in Byron Bay and just a handful of gigs, Parcels packed their bags and moved to Berlin. The band’s five members were barely out of their teens with no real plan; it was purely “vibes-based”, as vocalist and guitarist Jules Crommelin remembers: “It’s the inevitable small town [thing] – you either stay forever or you leave as quick as possible.”That spontaneous move a decade ago turned out to be a fortuitous decision for the young band: Crommelin, percussionist Anatole “Toto” Serret, keyboardist and vocalist Louie Swain, bassist Noah Hill and keyboardist, vocalist and guitarist Patrick Hetherington. Their 2015 self-released debut EP caught the attention of the French record label Kitsuné, who signed them.Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop cultur...

Philip Larkin wrote that ‘days are where we live’. Even in the bleakest of times, there are things you can do to improve yours. Former children’s laureate Rosen has some suggestions It hardly needs saying but I’ll say it anyway: we live in hard times. Things that some of us thought could and should have been solved haven’t been solved. Things that some of us thought would show signs of progress haven’t progressed. In many ways, wherever we look – locally, nationally or globally – there are things that have got worse. I don’t need to list them.I’m going to make a big claim: we can’t do anything about the things that bring us down if we are oppressed and depressed by them. We have to have hope. We need to be hopeful creatures in order to live. No matter how much events seem to point towards despair, telling us to be pessimistic, I think we have to find strategies and techniques to be hopeful. In spite of everything, we have to find reasons to go on. As someone once put it in a book, “...

68 h. ago ‘I want to earn my stripes’: Cooper Hoffman on ambition, anxiety, and following in his dad’s footsteps

He was never meant to be an actor – wary of comparisons with his late father Philip Seymour Hoffman. Now a rising star, he talks about growing up, embracing discomfort and forging his own pathWhen Cooper Hoffman was in his teens, he didn’t have any grand plans for the future, though there was one thing he knew for sure: he did not want to be an actor. Why? “I didn’t want to do it because my dad did it so well, and it felt like I’d be going up against him. It would feel like I was inherently stepping into something competitive.”Given Hoffman’s father is Philip Seymour Hoffman, Oscar-winning star of Boogie Nights, Almost Famous, The Master and Capote, you can see why he would feel that way. But then Paul Thomas Anderson, the Boogie Nights director who is a friend of the family, and whose children Cooper played with when he was growing up, asked him if he would read for a part.
