Booth, Dede: Parallels

This do-it-yourself release by Boston-based Dede Booth--who fronted the progressive goth-rock band Sententia in the early 2000s--is the fourth solo album she’s made since 2017. Parallels aligns with Booth’s other work over the past eight or so years, making experimental music for theater and taking inspiration from progressive rock, post-rock and even a bit of metal.

Divided into five acts (three of them with multiple parts), the 56-minute sci-fi concept album tells the story of one man’s journey to find his place in the world, the internal crisis he faces and the discovery to find his purpose as he encounters the possibility of a multiverse. Heady stuff, but Booth draws from some logical influences: Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Marillion and King Crimson. Her deep voice (albeit one that sometimes wavers) contrasts sharply with the majestic arrangements and instrumentation; she's particularly adept on drums.

In short, Booth has crafted an album that’s both challenging and enthralling.
