Hundreds of Au Life In Parallel

“Life in Parallel”, the fifth LP from Hundreds of AU, examines the hopelessness of modern life set to a soundtrack that encompasses both soaring melody and incoherent chaos. With a perspective bleeding with adulthood, but giving space to the coming of age experience in New Jersey, “Life in Parallel" weaves a narrative arc that reflects on middle age through the lens of a New Jersey coming-of-age—blending sharp social commentary with deeply personal storytelling. The album explores political unrest, the weight of loss, the hope found in parenthood, and the emotional complexity of growing older in a world that’s left us behind.”
This album premiers vocalist Brian (Lesser Minds) and bassist Buzz (Pellinore/The Banner), the two adding their own flavor and dimension to the bands pre-established brand of hardcore, screamo and punk. The band is graced with guest appearances by Geoff Rickley (Thursday/United Nations), Jon Tumillo (Folly), Ryann Slauson (Sonagi/Closer) and Adam Kaniper (Stress Spells), cementing a deeper texture of friendship and experience into the canvas of the songs.
Tracked by Joe Egan at Missile Silo Studios and mixed/mastered by John Howard at Warhouse Studios, the album channels sonic urgency and emotional weight—capturing the desperation, immediacy, and raw honesty woven throughout all ten songs.
