1.
day gleaming apparition's shine lights a flare on dark water another season lost to despair world in stillbirth eon of apprehension falling forward end of longing forced beginning heat induces ire in the street no forgiveness, no forgetting now death or oblivion blighted sun, couldn’t stay doesn’t die, just wastes away in endless light
2.
In Flashes 03:51
pain indulged a bitter light a shallow signal pulled from sleep it never ends, it never feels right no dragged out and drawn but a hollow alarm all and nothing at once nothing (over, under, around) keep the spark from falling bring the body home i’d lose it all total dissolution ground intrudes, fallowing senses call forever falling, annihilation bound a curtain parting, blank faces all around forever falling, forever wasted desire silence called into fire all and nothing at once
3.
Blister 03:44
in ruin, a promise an ending, enraptured beyond a monument (light yields to the pleasure of all at once) in the haze, a land behind (in the shadow of a fever, is this lust?) new sight (falling, no halo i can trust) in ruin, a promise an ending, enraptured beyond a monument glimmer, vast (far in the reaches of) a promise enraptured fade, wither, shine like the blister of a burnt-out century
4.
glow, boy melt the fear for me lay your body in the stream painkiller i like the feeling of you deeper, a little rearrange me let go of power i know a place where we can fall into another flooded scene show me every injury make me believe it i will whet the edges of misery ‘til change is all that i can see i like the feeling of you
5.
Dove 03:37
purity, end this now or let the dream consume itself in half-light, the old illusion frays warmth fades into loss but we’ll fail another way burn, become, decay not another thought breach is filling up can’t keep the feeling locked can’t see the floor
6.
promise of divine heavy with the endlessness of time spilled like honey in flower eyes caught up in yearning bliss resigned enter and echo search for disintegration calling, enthralling caught up in yearning bliss resigned spilled like honey in flower eyes enter and echo search for disintegration long for eternal feel for the dissipation fail to define flooded and perfect exit sublime craving is boundless

about

Oakland's Parallel continue to evolve their hypnagogic take on post-punk and dream pop on Flooded. The six-song mini-album is a study in contrasts, pairing heavy, melancholic moods with light, radiant qualities, recalling ethereal forebears like The Chameleons, Slowdive, and The Durutti Column along with a range of influences from slowcore and coldwave to UK psych. The band's commitment to minimalism lends the songs a somber, fragile beauty, lush vocal harmonies interweaving with intricate dual-guitar melodies and driving basslines. Flooded explores the fleeting transitions between emotional states, delving into the "flooded" intensities of desire, rage, loss, and despair and the moments of suspension and dislocation that frame them. Current and former members of Ragana, Nothing Natural, Try The Pie, Romantic Feelings, and Negative Standards.
