Parquet Courts has enjoyed a steady stream of critical acclaim since the band’s self-released album, Light Up Gold, in 2012.
Human Performance, the latest release from these guys, lives up to the hype.
Drawing from rock and punk influences, these guys are still quirky yet Human Performance is a little more straightforward than some previous releases. The musical touchstones here are varied: Wire, the Fall, Velvet Underground and even Elvis Costello (on Berlin Got Blurry).
I highly recommended grabbing this one.
Parquet Courts plays Metro April 20.
