Parallax Project - Perpetual Limbo


Second solo project from ex-Cherry Twister member, Mike Giblin and, like the first one("Oblivious"), is one mighty excellent slab of truly indie power pop that will appeal to any and all Cherry Twister fans, but there`s much more going on here. There`s a lot of sunny, bright `n spunky sounds going on here. The similar sounding/`sounds like` bands/artists only dip `n dash in and out of focus here, as Giblin has a style and sound of his own. But you`ll hear ehoes, vague, happy reminders of not only Cherry Twister(naturally) but The Nines, Redd Kross, Splitsville, Raspberries, Shoes and early 70`s AM Radio summer hits(think Gallery, First Class and Gilbert O` Sullivan, for those in the know). It`s original, cool and classy material all around. Sprinkled throughout are delicate harmonies and keen observations on lives that are colliding, expanding, and falling apart, with the unifying elements being Michael`s inviting voice and his distinctive perspective as a songwriter.

Parallax Project has the right combination of harmonies, the right batch of unusual chords, a keen sense of classic pop melody than most and the quirky sensibility to give it all a unique voice. Holy Cow, this is great! Btw, "Oblivious", the debut, is out of print and we have the last copies of this one left, so don`t wait there. Here? No brainer, big time Extremely Highly Recommended!

Friendly melodic pop songs
Reviewer: Richard  Wolff
You can not help but love a band that names its first album after a song by Aztec Camera. Not that you can really hear the influence, except perhaps in trying to write listener friendly melodic pop songs. Pop is not a negative term. The best pop songs are the ones you listen to once and find yourself humming to. Try to get them out of your head and find that you just can not do it. Together with Steve Ward Michael Giblin made a classic Power Pop record, at home with Cherry Twister. Steve Ward went on to make solo albums. Michael went on to form a group Parallax Project. Steve’s records are also well worth looking out for. While Steve has a more reflective introvert sound, Michael has the more outward going songs that invite the listeners in to enjoy the sound. One small quibble: no Theremin included.
