New Parralox Single, Remix Album Due February 25th


I can't believe it's been about a year since I last blogged about Australian electro-pop duo Parralox (John von Ahlen & Amii). Following the release of "Supermagic," Parralox is ready to unleash the new track, "I Sing The Body Electric," which serves as single #2 off the bands album Metropolis. Taking their love of the 80s to the extreme, Parralox mastermind John von Ahlen dedicates the song to the Eurythmics, one of his biggest musical influences and inspirations.
"A crisp beat, beautiful melodies and the velvety voice of Parralox lead vocalist Amii, takes the listener on a timeless journey, to a place where you can live your life in strange dimensions."
Remixing the single we have Edge Of Dawn, Angeltheory, Code64, Lustobjekt and Zynic. As an added bonus, Tycho Brahe teams up with Arthur Barrow (the Bass guitarist for The Doors, Janet Jackson, Nina Hagen and Giorgio Moroder’s bassist and chief programmer) on a remix of a song called "Miracles." Check out the tracklisting below and download the single HERE (U.S.) or HERE (UK) when it's released on February 25th.

Hot Electro Pop: Parralox

Where has Parralox been all of my life? I hate being behind the times when it comes to new music but there's just so much out there right now that this Aussie-gem slipped right past me. Parralox is a snippet of electro-pop perfection that was created by John Von Ahlen back in 2008. According to their MySpace page, the group was created "from the love of all things synthetic, science-fiction and surreal." The influences are are immediately noticeable in both the music, lyrics and stunning artwork campaign.

Parralox - John Von AhlenThe group is made up of Von Ahlen (Tenth Stage) and singer Amii, who's only major credit prior was a featured vocal on the 2007 Australian club track "Star Rider." 2008 saw the release of Parralox's debut album, Electricity (get it on U.S. iTunes HERE) which featured the song "Sharper Than A Knife", which has been re-released off of the duo's new album, State of Decay, which came out on November 13th. Two digital singles were released from State of Play back in October - "Hotter" (buy it on iTunes HERE) and "I Am Human," (buy it on iTunes HERE) both of which are NOW being released physically.
