THE NATIONAL PARKS Releases New Single “Whatever Comes”  CLICK HERE TO LISTEN  New Album Wild Spirit To Be Released August 23  PRE-SAVE HERE August 2, 2024 – Indie rock band, The National Parks are thrilled to release their new single “Whatever Comes” that is out now. “Whatever Comes” Is off their new album Wild Spirit to be released Friday, August 23. The band says, “Whatever comes is about moving ahead without looking back. I wrote this song about being on a spiritual/faith journey and having the feeling that embarking on the journey would mean that everything was going to change. Although I'm still on that journey, and probably will be forever, I can look back and see how far I've come and how beautiful it has been. When you're going through really difficult times it can be hard to look outward, it can be hard to see the bigger picture and I think it's important to have someone to go down that road with, someone you can stay up all night talking to, someone who will go with you and someone you can lean on when you don't feel strong enough to keep going. This is a song about going through the long dark night of the soul and looking up to see the stars and knowing that you'll be okay. It's about finding beauty in the unknown and discovering new and amazing things in this life.” In support of the new music the band has also announce the Wild Spirit Tour. See all tour dates below.

The National Parks translate these sensations into songs. The Provo, UT quartet—Brady Parks [vocals, guitar], Sydney Macfarlane [vocals, keys], Cam Brannelly [drums], and Megan Parks [violin]—breathe in inspiration from the world around them and exhale cinematic indie folk-pop powered by soaring harmonies, organic orchestration, and luminous electronics. Emerging in 2013, the musicians have consistently captivated audiences. They’ve generated over 150 million streams across Young [2013], Until I Live [2015], Places [2017], and Wildflower [2020]. As one of many highlights from the latter, “Time” amassed over 9.3 million Spotify streams as the album incited widespread critical applause. The four-piece maintained this momentum with a sold-out headline tour and 2021’s A Mix for the End of the World pt.1. Now, the group expand their vision yet again on their fifth full-length offering, 8th Wonder.
