Parallels formed in 2007 when former member Cameron Findlay teamed up with Dodson to begin writing what would become their debut album, Visionaries released in 2010 on Marigold Records. Findlay left Parallels in 2011. Nick and Artem joined soon after Findlay's departure. Parallels released their sophomore album, XII, in September 2012 on Marigold Records. XII boasts a brighter direction with Holly taking the lead on the album's song-writing and arrangements. "XII" eventually hit #5 on Canada's college radio charts in 2012. The album includes a rendition of "Moonlight Desires" by Canadian artist Lawrence Gowan. Following the release of "XII", Parallels toured North America and was chosen by NXNE as one of the top 15 Alternative bands to perform at the festival. Parallels' song "Dry Blood", from their debut album "Visionaries" was featured on the soundtrack for Curfew (2012 film) directed by Shawn Christensen that won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. In 2015, Parallels' "Civilization EP" hit #1 in Canada, on Earshot's "National Electronic Chart". "Civilization EP" includes a cover of "Age Of Consent" by British alternative group New Order. In its review of the EP, Electronic Rumors deemed Parallels "Undoubtedly one of Canada's finest synthpop exports".
