“Heartfelt, vulnerable song-writing” best describes Parable Fifteen’s latest album Within The Margin of Error. An expansive and exploratory endeavour for the rapidly rising South African Rock and Roll 4-piece.
Within The Margin of Error features primary elements of Rock / Pop-Rock & Country-Rock with varied and emotionally charged accoutrements. Chief songwriter / frontman Marc Skarda provides ample connective tissue on recent single “Beautifully Broken” and future hits “Overkill”, “What I Know Now” and “My Eyes”.
Marc Skarda from Parable Fifteen comments on the album
“The Album spans a full range of emotions featuring everything from rock to down tempo, country flavoured moments. Everything on the new album is driven from the heart. As a songwriter I took a deep dive from an emotional and observational perspective.”
