The 303s "Lines of Parallel Minds" (Cult Hero Records) Written by Dan Tulino

The debut album from Jersey City’s The 303s, "Lines of Parallel Minds," is both daring and introspective. The album's electronic guitar rock, blended with the complex and sensual vocals of Ingrid Dahl, creates an emotional rollercoaster in the listener. Together Ingrid Dahl and Parixit Davé have created a muscular alternative to Sigur Ros, while still maintaining a sensitivity rarely be found among industrial rock bands.

The 303s, "Lines of Parallel Minds," may be the next big thing. Producer Stephen Hindman has produced an album that has an industrial vibe and echoes the sounds of bands like the Cure and Architecture in Helsinki. The 303's music is filled with sounds that are both risky and imaginative; it is a textbook case on how to make experimentation flow through sound. The album is hip, young and complex with a hypnotic pulse. With a sound not unlike that heard in Britain in the early 80’s, the 303’s may be the first band to reinvent the “new-age” sound.

Ingrid and Patrixit met at Rutgers University and they have had a love affair with their instruments and minds ever since. Their intimate relationship has spawned a beautiful twelve track offspring. So keep a close eye on this duo as they push the boundaries of what is to be expected of new bands. The time to listen is now.
