If you enjoy upbeat music that still feels dreamy and gentle, give this album a try. It’s built for listeners who like a balance of groove, nostalgia, and soft emotional energy.

This album blends post‑disco, fusion jazz, and warm vintage synths, with a splash of the dreamy haze found in slushwave. When you hit play, you’re meant to feel a mix of happiness and nostalgia - like thinking about someone you love and remembering the adventures you’ve shared. The sound is dense and layered, warm and echo‑y, with a groove that lets you either sit back and drift or move your body a little.

You’ll hear soft, blended vocals that act more like another instrument than a spotlight. They show up to guide the melody and add emotion, keeping the mood romantic, affectionate, and gently uplifting. The drums are punchy with a roomy, echo‑y snare, and while the tracks aren’t built like typical dance songs, they still carry a smooth, syncopated groove. The basslines stay smooth, and the main textures come from synth‑string chords, synth leads, piano, guitar, bells, and those light, emotional vocal moments.

The whole project leans into feel‑good affection - dreamy, positive, and warm. It’s for listeners who love post‑disco, funk, vaporwave, slushwave, or anything that mixes retro grooves with atmospheric, modern haze. It works outside on a sunny day, but it also fits late‑night ambience when you want something upbeat yet dreamy.

Best known for the title track to their 2015 debut Astralwerks album, “Feeling Electric,” which was featured in EA Sports’ FIFA 16 game, Los Angeles-based alt-electro band Parade of Lights have toured extensively throughout the US as a headliner and supporting act for artists such as Imagine Dragons, X Ambassadors, Awolnation, and Fitz & The Tantrums. Their song “Golden” from the album has been featured in TV promotional spots for the Super Bowl, Olympics, Oscars, and Grammys along with numerous TV shows and commercials.

Formed in 2010 by singer/guitarist Ryan Daly and drummer Anthony Improgo, PoL added keyboardist Michelle Ashley in 2013 and signed with Astralwerks later that year after their independent single “We’re the Kids” garnered top 10 spins at SiriusXM’s Alt Nation.

In 2017, PoL released the singles “Touch” and “Victorious” and dropped another new song, “Tidal Waves”, in January 2018. Their most recent EP, “Human Condition Part 1” (released May 14, 2018) is their fourth multi-song release following “Feeling Electric,” 2014’s “Golden” EP and their debut 2012 independent EP “Born to Live, Born to Love.” 

“Human Condition Part 1” contains the song “Inside My Head,” which is featured in season 2 of the acclaimed Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.  The band’s song “Tangled Up” is also featured in the show and on the season 2 soundtrack.
