The Best Kept Secret: Parallels From Toronto, Canada

There are three things in this world that I can’t live without: synthesizers, female vocals, and anything from the 1980s. Although this band may not want to be equated to an era of shoulder pads and super permed hair, for me Parallels touches on all three of the above mentioned life necessities.

You probably haven’t heard of them and that’s fine but I will not accept any future excuses. Check them out, buy their records, and be  totally mesmerized by Holly Dodson!

More about Parallels and Holly + a music video after the cut!

For someone who has only met Holly in passing I can only make assumptions about her character. Over email she seems very friendly!  What I do know is I love her style! It’s usually very eclectic and vintage-esque. But it is of course her voice  that sold me! It’s perfectly suited for the synthesizers of Joey Kehoe and the drums and production of Cameron Findlay. Together they make a killer trio!

If you are living on the west coast Parallels will be playing in San Francisco on November 20th and L.A. on November 21st. Make sure to check your local listings or go to their website!

This is one of my favorite songs/videos by them and Holly looks stunning!! Enjoy!
