Parachute is the first album by the band Guster, released in 1994.[4][5] Four thousand copies were released under the band name Gus (the band had to change its name shortly afterward when another artist signed a record contract under that name). Those copies are considered very rare by Guster fans.
The stuffed animal on the cover of the album is a childhood toy of the percussionist Brian Rosenworcel and is lovingly referred to as "The Big Friend." It has become a mascot of sorts for the band.
Critical reception
The Boston Globe named the album the best local debut of 1994.[6]
