Parallel
Flooded
BETTER PRICE THAN PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED! Oakland's Parallel continues to evolve its hypnagogic take on post-punk and dream pop on 'Flooded'. This six-song mini-album is a study in contrasts, pairing heavy, melancholic moods with light, radiant qualities, recalling ethereal forebears like The Chameleons, Slowdive and The Durutti Column along with a range of influences from slowcore and coldwave to UK psych. The band's commitment to minimalism lends the songs a somber, fragile beauty, lush vocal harmonies interweaving with intricate dual-guitar melodies and driving basslines.
