Produced by James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode), Parallax marks a sonic evolution for the band, incorporating orchestral arrangements, analog synthesizers, and field recordings from their 2024 world tour. The result is a sweeping, cinematic record that critics have called "their masterpiece."
