At a time of crisis, Paral-lel could not help drawing their inspiration from current affairs. The term Monkey Money is taken from traders’ vocabulary to name the beautiful green bill which has made the entire world greed and which is today relegated to the rank of common paper. And even music, transformed into gold at the end of last century, has become today Monkey Money. "Monkey Money", the EP’s first title, commands its strong hymn and its all-consuming breaks, and offers a piece combining oldschool breakbeat, pure energy and frenzied acid. An energy we come across again in the piece "Skudio" with a voluntarily more techno connotation accompanied by huge leads and a fiery 303 line. A devastating EP which only catches its breath for "Rabbit" boosted by a massive dubstep bass and catchy lyrics, a kind of dirty break just before leaping in the frenetic race of "Run". A piece which takes time to impose its electro-bass rhythm, before letting the sound of guitars blare out. A new EP which, from the very first listen, announces a heavy sound on stage, because Paral-lel remains a band to be seen live on stage, the only place where music takes on its real value.
