L.A. shoegazers Sky Parade have been hard at work on the follow-up to 2008’s “High on Desire” EP – frontman Tommy Dietrick says the band’s new full-length, targeted for a Jan. 1 release, is “darker and more eccentric,” featuring contributions from new guitarist Scott Moran and a cameo from Smashing Pumpkins/Lassie Foundation guitarist Jeff Schroeder. First, though, Sky Parade will release a three-song vinyl single on Sept. 18. The track “Lonely Alibis” reveals the band’s affection for counterposing the pretty against feedback-drenched squalor.
