Parcels have signed a global music publishing agreement with BMG.
The Australian-born five-piece have built a global following with a catalogue that has generated more than 1.5 billion streams.
Formed in Byron Bay, Australia, Parcels – Anatole Serret, Jules Crommelin, Louie Swain, Noah Hill, and Patrick Hetherington – relocated to Berlin in the mid-2010s, where they developed their sound and began building an international audience.
Their breakthrough came with the 2017 single Overnight, co-produced by Daft Punk. The band, who are now based across three continents, have since built a global career.
The agreement was led by Jasper Niebuhr, managing director, GSA, based in BMG’s European headquarters in Berlin, in collaboration with the company’s publishing teams across continental Europe, the UK, North America, and Australia.
With key contributions from Alistair Norbury, Monti Olson and Heath Johns, the partnership draws on BMG’s global network to support Parcels’ international ambitions.
Birger Luedemann, manager of Parcels, said: “What really stood out to us was the genuine excitement for Parcels across the entire BMG team. From Berlin to London, the US, and Australia, we felt a shared understanding of the band’s vision and a real ambition to build something special together. We’re incredibly excited about this partnership and look forward to bringing some amazing projects to life as we look ahead to what’s next for Parcels.”

Jasper Niebuhr, managing director, GSA, BMG, said: “Parcels are one of the most distinctive and compelling bands of their generation. Their extraordinary musicianship, songwriting, and creative vision have enabled them to build a truly global career on their own terms, without compromising what makes them unique.
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Parcels to BMG. With their Australian roots, creative history in Berlin, and strong presence in the US, they embody a truly international spirit. We share their ambition to keep pushing boundaries and are excited to bring the strength of our global network to the next chapter of their remarkable journey.”
Parcels released their third studio album, Loved, in 2025, the same year they performed at Coachella and played a sold-out international arena tour spanning Europe, North America and Australia.
Members of Parcels have also launched a new project, Dream Boat, which released its debut single, Real!, on October 21.
