Info for Relic Of The Past
Child of the Parish is a collaboration between writer/producer Ben Vella, his brother Tom Vella, and the artist Pius Bak. Musically Ben wanted to explore songs with more of a colourful tilt towards disco and psychedelia, where 303's could sit happily alongside guitars, four-to-the-floor beats and vocal samples. In the spirit of 'having as much fun with it as possible,' he also lived out a lifelong dream to write a mini graphic novel. Ben and Tom grew up on the likes of Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira" and Alan Moore's "Watchmen." Having recently moved from a big city to a tiny village in the countryside, the idea of Child of the Parish formed. A village cursed by a 16c witch is punished 400 years later by the arrival of Jacob, son of the devil and the Child of the Parish. Drawing a parallel between medieval witch hunts and modern trials by social media, Jacob metes out justice to the inhabitants of his village in a dark comedy horror. Ben found Lithuanian artist Pius Bak who instantly embraced the story and brought it to life. The comic will in effect form the prequel to the Child of the Parish album.
Child of the Parish
is a musical artist group that consists of three members: Pius Bak (an artist), Tom Vella (Singer), and Tom’s brother, Ben Vella (Producer and Writer). Inspired by Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira, the trio creates music combined with visual effects. Implemented into their art form are eerie historical stories and comic-type visuals in collaboration with musical experimentation.
The group was formed in 2015 when Ben (previously songwriter for famous group Vaults), wanted to try something different. Together with his brother, Tom, and artist Pius Bak, the trio released their first song Relish of the Past in 2020. Even though the song didn’t win any awards, it was highly acclaimed by Jack Saunders and Annie Mac, as well as BBC 6Music and Radio 1.
Child of the Parish released another song named Make it Better in 2020, that features the same atmospheric melodies and euphoric beats.
This album contains no booklet.
