Los Angeles alt-rock band i returns with their hauntingly melodic new single Parade, released via SODEH Records. Blending the grit of grunge with indie rock sensibilities and a touch of surrealism, Parade is a twisted love letter wrapped in distortion and dark poetry.

Guitarist Paul calls it “a song that plays like the love theme from a horror movie,” while vocalist Al puts it more bluntly: “If it was an 80s teen horror movie, Parade would play during the mandatory make-out scene.” It’s both absurd and deeply sincere—an emotional paradox that defines the band’s style.

Musically, Parade hits like a tank disguised as an ice cream truck: massive, melodic, and just a little unhinged. Imagine Godzilla going for a gentle stroll through Tokyo on a Sunday afternoon—chaotic but oddly soothing.

Lyrically, Parade is a visceral dive into guilt, longing, and transformation. Lines like “I want to peel my skin away / Make you a handbag you can carry every day” make it clear this isn’t your typical love song. It's messy, raw, and disarmingly poetic—a confession that would rather bleed than beg.

For fans of early Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies, and Queens of the Stone Age, Parade is a darkly tender slice of alternative rock that refuses to look away.
