Parquet Courts (also known as Parkay Quarts) is an art punk/anti-reverb band from Brooklyn, New York. They formed in 2010, and have since created several albums and EPs including American Specialties, Light Up Gold, Sunbathing Animal, Content Nausea, Monastic Living, Human Performance, and Rough Trade. The self-proclaimed “Americana punk” group is centered around frontman and songwriter Andrew Savage who is currently working on his forthcoming solo album, Thawing Dawn. The last day job Savage had was delivering weed, which gave him inspiration for the band’s breakout album, “Light Up Gold.” Parquet Courts’s roots are doubtlessly nestled in post punk and indie garage rock; their third studio album Sunbathing Animal lyrically and sonically fits right into the catalogs of Pavement and Sonic Youth. The group is principled, decisive, and intense. Many of their lyrics focus on defining integrity, but rebelliously. Sometimes it means complaining about social tribulations; sometimes it means long psychedelic hums about women; sometimes it means an epic vibraphone solo. Panic and anxiety written are written all over this discography, but with clever technique.
