“Life in Parallel”, the fourth LP from Hundreds of AU, examines the hopelessness of modern life set to a soundtrack that encompasses both soaring melody and incoherent chaos. With a perspective bleeding with adulthood, but giving space to the coming of age experience in New Jersey, “Life in Parallel" weaves a narrative arc that reflects on middle age through the lens of a New Jersey coming-of-age—blending sharp social commentary with deeply personal storytelling. The album explores political unrest, the weight of loss, the hope found in parenthood, and the emotional complexity of growing older in a world that’s left us behind.”
This album premiers vocalist Brian (Lesser Minds) and bassist Buzz (Pellinore/The Banner), the two adding their own flavor and dimension to the bands pre-established brand of hardcore, screamo and punk. The band is graced with guest appearances by Geoff Rickley (Thursday/United Nations), Jon Tumillo (Folly), Rickly Slauson (Sonagi/Closer) and Adam Kaniper (Stress Spells), cementing a deeper texture of friendship and experience into the canvas of the songs.
Tracked by Joe Egan at Missile Silo Studios and mixed/mastered by John Howard at Warhouse Studios, the album channels sonic urgency and emotional weight—capturing the desperation, immediacy, and raw honesty woven throughout all ten songs.
Brought to you by the team at Iodine Recordings, we hope you can connect with “Life in Parallel” in a way that lets you know you’re not alone out there, that it’s okay to feel hopeless sometimes, and most of all, we can lift each other up with our expression of empathy.
