French electronic duo Parallelle have officially released their long-awaited new album 11th Avenue via their Lisbon-based label, FOLDER.
Arriving on October 29, 2025, the album captures the duo’s signature warmth, spontaneity, and analog energy – just as they gear up for a major North American tour.
Rooted in live instrumentation and analog textures, 11th Avenue evokes the smoky elegance of 1980s New York jazz lounges with a modern club twist. The album is packed with collaborations from artists like Fulltone and Nicolas Masseyeff, each blending seamlessly into Parallelle’s multifaceted sound. Across the record, elements of jazz, soul, and classic house meet punchy, forward-thinking rhythms built for both cozy live sets and massive festival stages.
Leading the project is “The Collab,” a funk-soaked track created with Dino Lenny that channels early-2000s French house energy. The song’s gritty distorted bassline, played by Alessandro Mazzieri, injects a raw, infectious pulse. Speaking about the collaboration, Parallelle shared a story that perfectly sums up their chemistry with Lenny: “We were supposed to drive together to Tomorrowland Winter but got stuck in traffic. Dino wasn’t thrilled at first, but within minutes, between ridiculous jokes, we realized we shared the same twisted humor. Later, when we asked him to collaborate, he re-recorded our entire phone conversation in a fake French accent – pure chaos, but pure magic too.”
Other standout tracks include “Tastes Like Gold,” a glowing, groove-driven piece built on fluid basslines, fine-grained percussion, and misty synths. Featuring dusky vocals from Joly, it radiates quiet intensity and emotion. “Searching For The Groove,” created with Sacks, infuses 2-step percussion and soulful keys with jazzy saxophone accents, while “Mind, Body & Soul,” featuring Allysha Joy, dives into dubby, futuristic tech-house terrain with sizzling vocals.
