Description
Parallels was created when Cameron Findlay, the former drummer of Canadian electro group, Crystal Castles, teamed up with Holly Dodson in 2008. Findlay spent much of his free time on tour writing songs for what would become the foundation of Parallels' current repertoire. Through an exchange of emails with Dodson, they wrote their first single "Ultralight". Findlay returned home to Toronto at the end of the '08 tour, and switched his main focus to developing Parallels. Findlay and Dodson continued to write more material, releasing "Ultralight" as a digital single later that year, and on vinyl on Thisisnotanexit Records in London, UK.Parallels' music has been likened to the work of Giorgio Moroder, New Order and Stevie Nicks. Dodson's vocals have been compared to Kate Bush, and true-blue era Madonna. Now Magazine rated Parallels as critic's pick for "Best Electronic act of 2009", in their "Best of Toronto" issue. Dodson represented Parallels in Flare (magazine)'s 30th anniversary issue as one of the "Hottest names to know in Canadian Music".
