Emerging from Oakland, California’s vibrant independent music scene, **Parallel** draws inspiration from the introspective depths of post-punk and the ethereal beauty of dream pop. The result is a sonic palette that is lush yet austere, both sparse and overflowing—a sound that shimmers with a dark and delicate beauty. Tracks build slowly into complex, multilayered compositions, referencing the gothic psychedelia of The Chameleons and Sad Lovers and Giants alongside the minimalist atmospherics of bands like Slowdive, Low, and Wire. This dual nature is a hallmark of their style, offering a modern take on the classic elements of shoegaze, slowcore, and post-punk. After making waves with their 2022 self-titled debut , the band’s new album Flooded comes out July 2024 on Cherub Dream Records and Play Alone Records. 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.dilemma.
