German indie rock/post-punk duo Para Lia revealed vibrant new single "Sunchild". Recently they have signed with Berlin-based label About Us Records for their new album, In Clash With The Zeitgeist, due out on the 25th of August. Towards this third record, they present the upbeat driving guitar-laden lead track "Sunchild". This album sees them blend their love for the late 80s and early 90s influences, psychedelic, garage rock and early prog rock elements.
Comprised of René Methner (all instruments and vocals) and Cindy Methner (backing vocals), who were raised in the eastern part of a divided Germany. Their band name was born of their love for Greece, with para lia (παραλία) meaning "coast" or "beach" in Greek - a name full of mystery but optimism, which both has history and evokes a balance of the masculine and feminine.
Now based in Cottbus (near Berlin), Para Lia's music is influenced by the rhythms and tones of '90s alt-rock and the synth density of '80s darkwave. Their own sound blends melodic guitars, along with distinctive lead guitar and resonant synths.
On "Sunchild", Para Lia's psychedelic side seeps into the lyrics. René Methner says: "That track is a love letter to life. In fact, most of the songs here are characterized by optimism and hope." Give it a listen right below. Link
