Life Kills by Parralox

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Parralox on their 3rd consecutive Friday of releases. This time, it is with the track "Life Kills." In case you missed the previous 2, Parralox has remade the Human League's 1980 album Travelogue, and they are releasing one track every Friday spanning 17 weeks. We just realized that we will only be able to cover the first 10 or 11 tracks this year. In December, we stop featuring new music for our year-end countdown. We'll have to catch up with the December releases in January.

So, if you are a Parralox fan, then you know that they have already released "Life Kills" on their Holiday '19 album. In fact, we reviewed that album back in May of 2020. We are happy to tell you that the version released today is NOT the exact same version they previously released, but instead more a peppy remix. It has more added synths and the music is quite fun. John gives a great vocal performance, too. We've loved Parralox's original version, and we are quite liking this new mix. Have a look at the fun music video that features goths dancing by a pond ...
