Para Lia is multi-instrumentalist René Methner and vocalist Cindy Methner. Born of their love for Greece, the name "para lia" (παραλία) means "coast" or "beach" in Greek is full of mystery and optimism, both having its story and evoking balance between the masculine and feminine. Raised in the eastern part of a divided Germany, they are now based in Cottbus (near Berlin).

Para Lia's music is influenced by the rhythms and tones of '90s alt-rock and the synth density of '80s darkwave. Their own sound blends melodic guitars, along with distinctive lead guitar and resonant synths.

Their full album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' will be released, both digitally and on vinyl, on August 25.
