The Parlor is an American indie pop duo composed of husband and wife Eric Krans and Jen O'Connor.
Their music covers a wide range of genres, drawing from folk, dance, electronic, and pop influences.
[2] O'Connor and Krans began writing and performing together in 1998, when they met in the elevator of their college dorm.
After spending time living abroad, the couple moved into O'Connor's family estate in Altamont, NY, converting it back into a working farm.
Though their early work was rooted firmly in folk and bedroom pop, they adopted a number of electronic sounds in order to perform live as a duo,[6] leading to an evolution of style.
