I can't believe it's been about a year since I last blogged about Australian electro-pop duo Parralox (John von Ahlen & Amii). Following the release of "Supermagic," Parralox is ready to unleash the new track, "I Sing The Body Electric," which serves as single #2 off the bands album Metropolis. Taking their love of the 80s to the extreme, Parralox mastermind John von Ahlen dedicates the song to the Eurythmics, one of his biggest musical influences and inspirations.
"A crisp beat, beautiful melodies and the velvety voice of Parralox lead vocalist Amii, takes the listener on a timeless journey, to a place where you can live your life in strange dimensions."Remixing the single we have Edge Of Dawn, Angeltheory, Code64, Lustobjekt and Zynic. As an added bonus, Tycho Brahe teams up with Arthur Barrow (the Bass guitarist for The Doors, Janet Jackson, Nina Hagen and Giorgio Moroder’s bassist and chief programmer) on a remix of a song called "Miracles." Check out the tracklisting below and download the single HERE (U.S.) or HERE (UK) when it's released on February 25th.
