Hundreds of AU 'Life In Parallel'

Life in Parallel is the fourth full-length from Hundreds of AU, pushing the New Jersey band’s mix of screamo, hardcore, and punk into a more expansive and emotionally charged direction.

The album wrestles with political unrest, loss, disillusionment, and the weight of adulthood, while still leaving room for the fragile hope found in connection, parenthood, and shared experience. Melody and atmosphere continually collide with abrasive, chaotic intensity, giving the record a sense of tension that never fully resolves.

Life in Parallel also marks the introduction of vocalist Brian of Lesser Minds and bassist Buzz of Pellinore and The Banner, expanding the band’s established sound with new texture and perspective. Guest appearances from Geoff Rickly of Thursday and United Nations, Jon Tumillo of Folly, Ryann Slauson of Sonagi and Closer, and Adam Kaniper of Stress Spells reinforce the sense of community running throughout the record.

Tracked by Joe Egan at Missile Silo Studios and mixed and mastered by John Howard at Warhouse Studios, the album captures the urgency, desperation, and vulnerability at the center of all ten songs.

Released by Iodine Recordings, Life in Parallel is a deeply personal record about feeling overwhelmed by the world around you and searching for connection within it.
