**MØAA (Seattle, USA)**

Coming off the back of her gothic shoegaze debut album "Euphoric Recall" released in 2021, MØAA unleashes the title track of her new album "Jaywalker"; a nocturnal dream pop record featuring pulsing 909 drum machines submerged under catchy hushed vocals and glistening, reverb laden guitars. Fuzzed out bass lines from the first album have been swapped out with fat chorus and throbbing synths built for melancholic dancing. As with "Euphoric Recall", MØAA worked with collaborator Andrea Volpato (formerly of (New Candys) who co-produced, mixed, and recorded "Jaywalker" at Fox Studio in Seattle, Washington. Since the inception of the project in 2021, MØAA has headlined tours in the United States, Europe, and the UK, performed at the official SXSW 2022 showcase, Ypsigrock Festival in Sicily, MIL Festival in Lisbon, and shared the stage with artists like Yves Tumor at Artivive Festival in Modena and Film School on a US west coast tour. The entirety of "Jaywalker" will be released this fall in 2023 via WWNBB Records.

**PARALLELS (LA/Toronto)**

Stepping into Parallels’ universe is like seeing color fade into focus on Polaroid film. Combining classic synthesizer sounds with the bite of postpunk-guitar, powerhouse drumming and their signature sugar-rush vocals - Parallels style is unrivaled. Since releasing their cult-classic debut album “Visionaries” in 2010, Parallels has since released 5 studio albums embracing a broad range of pop, postpunk, new wave and nu-disco influences. The live band consists of co-founding member Holly Dodson on vocals, Colin Knighton on guitar, Walter Bernath on bass Florence Bullock on keys and Christopher Pedraza on drums.

They emerged out of the MySpace/mp3 blog explosion that included the The Valerie Collective and Discodust, coming up with artists like Glass Candy, Desire, Anoraak, College and Futurecop! Originally forming in Toronto, they now call Los Angeles home.

In 2020, Parallels celebrated the 10-year Anniversary of their debut album “Visionaries” with a limited edition vinyl repress through NewRetroWave Records. The album sold out and charted on iTunes Electronic Chart. In collaboration with electro-rock artist Radio Wolf, Parallels co-wrote and co-produced a 7-song soundtrack for Sci-Fi feature film “Proximity” directed by Emmy-Award winning VFX artist Eric Demeusy (Stranger Things, Tron: Legacy, Game Of Thrones). The album was released on LA-based imprint, Lakeshore Records and their song “Journey’s End” won Best Song In A Film at the Los Angeles Film Awards.
