Cloned Apparition release debut album Parallel with the Sun through Static Era Records

 Montreal-based alternative rock band Cloned Apparition release their debut album, Parallel with the Sun, through Static Era Records. The band conjures up eight tracks that swirl through a high-energy combination of grunge, shoegaze, and nu-metal leaning sounds. Influence from bands like Helmet, Only Living Witness, and Hum comes through, while fitting right alongside contemporaries such as Bleed, Narrow Head, and Soul Blind. The album starts with hazy and melancholic “Accidents” before diving into the dynamic “Let Me” featuring crushing guest vocals from Jake of Mile End. “Stain” unleashes a powerful sonic delivery through a fast DJ beat and thick riffs, which carry into “Looking Down.” The record ends with “Crushed” as two minutes of lush instrumentals seep into drawn out vocals before fading out.

On the album’s themes, the band shares:

“The overarching theme of the album revolves around things changing around you as you grow older. We started the band at 22 years old and are now 26-27 years old. We lost people we loved in that time, we grew as people, and things changed around us. This record’s themes revolves around wanting to hold on to the past while having to come to terms that things are moving forward no matter what.”

Cloned Apparition will celebrate Parallel with the Sun with a pair of release shows this weekend, July 17th in Toronto and July 18th in Montreal with Mile End and more supporting. You can find more info below, following the album artwork and tracklist.
