parallels is a band started by the former crystal castles touring drummer along with some other dude and a girl. they've been around since late 2008 (i think) and built quite a buzz back then and suddenly it got really quiet. or maybe i just stopped reading anything mentioning them? good thing is they finally released an album and it's pretty awesome. could've been better considering a lot of the songs in this i've known for quite a while now but it's still pretty kick-ass and amazing for anyone just getting the chance to know them. what is this? just some chill synth-pop with a hardcore 80s and retro-futuristic vibe. it also reminds me of early madonna at times. GET IT NOW BROS AND FEMBROS!
