Parenthetical Girls are a group from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2002 by music journalist Zac Pennington and musician Jeremy Cooper. Cooper has since dropped out and Jherek Bischoff (of the Dead Science) has swooped in to take his place. Their third album sees the band making a huge leap into the realms of orchestral pop, showcasing collaborations with no fewer than fifteen classically trained musicians. Entanglements should secure favor with fans of The Decemberists. Tomlab is the label.
