[Pick Of The Week] In Parallel – “Leave It With The Ghost”

It’s crazy to think it has been two years since we last heard from Nashville alternative/shoegaze band, In Parallel, but the wait for new music is finally over! Comprised of Lance Black, Ryan Parrish, Jesse Fine, and Mark Nash, In Parallel features members of Celebrity and Hopesfall.

On September 4, the band will release their sophomore EP, Fashioner, via Wiretap Records, and first single, “Leave It With The Ghost,” is an exceptional offering that will leave you speechless during its glorious 8 minutes.

Staying true to their signature shoegazey, atmospheric vibes that can transport the listener to any place desired, “Leave It With The Ghost” slowly builds, hypnotically leaving you in a trance throughout the full eight and a half minutes. Is it September yet?

Fashioner was mixed by Failure frontman, Ken Andrews – a rather exciting accomplishment for the band. “We’ve been big fans of Ken Andrews work for nearly two decades. When it came time to mix the EP, Mark asked who would be at the top of the list and we jokingly threw Ken’s name out there thinking there’s zero possibility it would ever happen,” guitarist Ryan Parrish shared. “Unbeknownst to us, Mark tracked down Ken’s email address and sent him a few songs. Ken wrote back within a day or two and said he’d love to work on it – we were blown away. Sonically speaking, he really shaped and added to the depth of Fashioner. We could not be happier with the end result.”
