Parachute is the first album by the band Guster, released in 1994. 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.

Originally released in April 1994,[1] the album was produced by Mike Denneen[2] and was re-released in November 14, 1995. 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.[3]
