Parallel – “Blister”

---

“Blister” is the latest from California based band Parallel, and it’s a moody post punk jam (which we particularly enjoy here at the BLOG). Released in anticipation of a six track EP due out this July 4, “Blister” employs a guitar-forward approach that somehow sounds warm and downtrodden at the same time. The veil occasionally lifts and goes in a dream pop direction before diving back to the dirge-y downbeat – providing an interesting juxtaposition while showing the line that separates the two genres isn’t that wide. If you’re into current acts like Beach House and also own a Joy Division t-shirt, this is the band for you.

You can hear “Blister” below from YouTube (accompanied with a creepy stop motion music video) or you can hear it on the various streamers Apple Music or Spotify. Flooded is out in July and you can hear this plus five more tracks then!
