Description
<p>Melodic indie / alternative rock duo Para Lia presents their single 'Sunchild', the first new music since announcing the duo has signed to Berlin-based About Us Records for their third album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' (out on August 25). This driving, guitar-laden indie rock lead track is accompanied by a fun-filled nostalgic self-directed video.

With emotions that are consistently positive, these images therefore perfectly translate the mood of this song, combined with footage from the Thommy Hein Studio in Berlin, where the whole album got its finishing touches in a beautiful atmosphere.

Methner adds, “The whole thing is framed visually with psychedelic echoes and a vintage touch, which are both reminiscent of indie rock videos of the early 1990s and also late-1960s Super8 aesthetics. This track is a love letter to life. In fact, most of the songs here are characterised by optimism and hope." Now based in Cottbus (near Berlin), Para Lia's music is influenced by the rhythms and tones of ‘90s alt-rock and the synth density of ‘80s darkwave. Their own sound blends melodic guitars, along with distinctive lead guitar and resonant synths. "This is a psychelovic indie rock song for survivors!" says Cindy Methner. "This is an ode to not letting it get you down and was created in darker
