"Parallel Horizontal" is a song by the indie pop band Marine Research. It first appeared as a single on 27 July 1999 and then as the opening track on their only album Sounds from the Gulf Stream on 24 August.[1]

Its two B-sides were recorded for John Peel's Radio 1 show in May 1999. Neither song featured on Sounds from the Gulf Stream and so were exclusive to this release. Amelia Fletcher and Peter Momtchiloff had first recorded a session for Peel in 1987 when they were members of Talulah Gosh.[2]

A music video was made for the song.[3]

"Parallel Horizontal" garnered several positive reviews.[4] Paul Connolly in The Times described it as "Perfect sunny day pop music",[5] while Dale Kattack in Nightshift wrote: "it's fantastically merry and uncomplicated but for all its sweetness there's barely a trace of tweeness to be heard".[6] Stevie Chick in the NME described "Angel in the Snow" as "four minutes of icy-cool girl group incandescence".[7]
