Atlas - Parallel Love on CD

Description

Parallel Love is the second album by British Melodic Rock band ATLAS. Writing sessions for Parallel Love started shortly after the band's 2019 tour with Midnite City and Age of Reflection, with the band spending much longer on the demo process than for their previous album, polishing their ideas through the autumn and winter of 2019. This resulted in 11 tracks that the band felt were more concise and stronger than previous efforts. The band chose to pursue a heavier edge for the album production, while staying true to their Melodic Rock and AOR roots. The album line-up consists of Craig Wells (Vocals), Howie Little (Guitar), James Thorley (Keyboards), Chris Redfearn (Bass) and Ryan Briggs (Drums). James Thorley took on the role of producer and recording engineer, with Christoffer Borg (Art Nation, Taste) once again taking over the role of mixing and mastering. The five-piece chose to work with AOR Heaven again for the world-wide release of Parallel Love due to the successful working relationship for their previous release In Pursuit Of Memory . Parallel Love explores complicated and difficult themes in relationships that aren t often touched on in traditional AOR, while still exploring the highs and lows of what love brings to life. Human Touch showcases the physical side of love with no strings attached, while Here With You is a declaration of love lyrically and musically with the band showcasing a string ensemble for the album's finale. These parallel themes are intended to tie the album together lyrically. Weathered Heart celebrates a new love after the turmoils of previous relationships, while Falling Out Of Love deals with pursuing love for the wrong reasons.
