Label: Cherub Dream
Released 12/23/2022
Like a rainbow captured in shades of gray, Oakland’s PARALLEL draws on the post-punk psychedelia of bands like The Chameleons, Sad Lovers and Giants and the 4AD pantheon as well as the minimalist atmospherics of Slowdive, Wire, and Low to craft dream pop that is both lush and austere, sparse and overflowing. Parallel started playing together in the fall of 2019, writing the bulk of their first album while masked and distanced in their drummer MARIA's basement. In addition to Parallel, members are also involved with a wide variety of other projects, including RAGANA, NOTHING NATURAL, ENTRAPMENT and LIZARD BITCH, and have also played in NEGATIVE STANDARDS, ROMANTIC FEELINGS, and NASTY DILLEMMA.
