The 303s:
Electronics, rock, ephemera, and mood make this ingenious band a compelling combination of transformers evoking surreal emotional traversing. One of the founding members of the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, Ingrid Dahl, leads the bands reverb-eclectic sounds. The 303s music and live performances overflow with powerful yet sweet aural dialogues that can't hide the bands attraction to anger, love, inquiry, and death. Each song is a discovery, as though music has become their only means of communicating. Their debut album, Lines of Parallel Minds, amplifies the interchanging structure, quixotic beats, and strategic layers of diverse sounds.
Their debut album, Lines of Parallel Minds, amplifies the interchanging structure, quixotic beats, and strategic layers of diverse sounds. Fighting and incognizant, erratic and blas, the music of The 303s creates something new: a balance of collaboration, of sincerity, and experimentation. Mixing the innocence of The 303s with a powerful perspective from the album's producer, Stephen Hindman (Lismore, Cult Hero, DJ Kingsize) the music makes you travel on the air: The best of parallel-like minded minds.
"The 303s, Lines of Parallel Minds oscillates between digitally organic kaliedascopers and corpulent, flank-frosting buzzbombs." - Markus von Pfeiffer, Filter Magazine
"This hip and young duo's debut album will fill the heart of any fan of Curve, Cocteau Twins, Autolux, and Lush. Be on the lookout, this may be the next big thing." - Crashin IN
"Ingrid Dahl and Parixit Dave' create songs that float from pulsating, hypnotic webs of sound to mellow blends of remorseful guitar ripples and hushed vocals." - Sara Nowak, Deli Magazine
"Much like The Killers knocking about with My Bloody Valentine, this Jersey City band take some of the best touchstones of British music of pasty twenty years and make something completely their own." - Dany, Exitfare
"Dahl reaches for genuine emotional effect in almost every song, and she invariably gets there, thanks to strong programming and some of the warmest and most artfully-arranged computer productions this side of the Postal Service." - Tris McCall, Jersey City Vibe
"Imagine Mommy and Daddy (the electro-punk group) with the noise turned down but the rhythm ramped up to a frenetic pace; add a touch of shoegazer pop. The double espresso effect wears off at around 4:00 and melts into a sublime, contemplative code" - Thought and Expression
