Life in Parallel is the fourth full-length from Hundreds of AU, available as a 12" LP. The album examines the hopelessness of modern life through a sound that moves between soaring melody and abrasive, chaotic intensity, balancing adulthood’s weight with the lingering imprint of coming of age in New Jersey.

Written from a perspective shaped by growing older in a world that often feels left behind, Life in Parallel weaves a narrative that reflects on political unrest, loss, and disillusionment, while still holding space for the fragile hope found in connection, parenthood, and shared experience. It’s a record that pairs sharp social commentary with deeply personal storytelling, allowing vulnerability and anger to coexist without resolution.
