Product Overview
Parquet Courts - Sympathy For Life (CD) Parquet CourtsÙ thought-provoking rock is dancing to a new tune. ØSympathy For LifeÙ finds the Brooklyn band at both their most instinctive and electronic, spinning their bewitching, psychedelic storytelling into fresh territory, yet maintaining their unique identity. Built largely from improvised jams, inspired by New York clubs, Primal Scream and Pink Floyd and produced in league with Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Hot Chip, David Byrne), ØSympathy For LifeÙ was always destined to be dancey. ØWide Awake!Ù was a record you could put on at a party,Ý says co-frontman Austin Brown. ØSympathy For LifeÙ is influenced by the party itself. Historically, some amazing rock records have been made from mingling in dance music culture - from ØTalking HeadsÙ to ØScreamadelicaÙ. Our goal was to bring that into our own music.Ý TRACKLISTING 1.
