Parallel Stride is the fourth solo album from Doug Gillard, the Ohio-bred, New York-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Guided by Voices , Nada Surf, Death of Samantha, and Cobra Verde. Long celebrated as one of American indie rock's most distinctive guitarists, Gillard's solo work centers on timeless songwriting values: hook-driven melodies, emotionally resonant lyrics, and finely crafted performances. Across eleven engaging tracks - including "Face Of Smiles," "Yes, She Loves Me," and "Lost Alarmists" - Parallel Stride delivers vivid wordplay and magnetic melodicism, often summed up by the shorthand "Wire backing Paul McCartney." Recorded in the New York City area with co-producers Tom Beaujour and Travis Harrison, the album stands among the most compelling work of Gillard's career.
