Plain White T's - Parallel Universe (2XLP)

The Plain White T's return to Fearless Records with their album, Parallel Universe. Of course, the band's endlessly hummable signature melodies still shine at the center of this galaxy, but their universe morphed into an otherworldly atmosphere of ethereal electronic pop buttressed by lush guitar tones and synth transmissions. Plain White T's formed in 1997 by high school friends. The group had a mostly underground following in Chicago basements, clubs and bars in it's early years. The band is best known in the U.S. for the number-one hit song "Hey There Delilah", which achieved platinum status in 2007 and earned two Grammy nominations.
