Abstract
In Parallax - dedicated to Trish Keenan, the lead singer of the Birmingham indie electro band Broadcast who died of pneumonia last January - Cox posits himself as a gorgeous-sad crooner, an old-school troubadour who's remembering loves lost. While the original Zero Point Red ticks all the usual goth-metal boxes with its harried guitar riffs and slap-dash drums, the new version sounds fresher and curiouser.
