Ashtray is crowed, bottle is empty, no music plays and nothing moves without drifting, into a memory. Wow. Fucking love this band ❤️

Lyrics I know exactly where I was when I First saw you the way I see you now, through these eyes, waiting to retry Those pristine days I recall so fondly So few are trials when a life isn't lonely, and now if only I'd never felt it, I'd never heard it I know I loved you, did I even deserve it, when you returned it? There's no suspicion, no hesitation Believing through the eyes of sore, adoration Witness and know, fracture and hurt Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed Shield like a house, closing its doors Curved in the dark, rinses of yours Ashtray is crowded, bottle is empty No music plays and nothing moves without drifting, into a memory Busy apartment, no room for grieving Sink full of dishes and no trouble believing, that you are leaving Mid-sentence tremors, mind at its weakest One way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with Witness and know, fracture and hurt Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed Shield like a house, closing its doors Curved in the dark, rinses of yours In walks the darkness, I pitch without you Asks me do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done to, indeed I do know?It never leaves me, just visits less often It isn't gone and I won't feel its grip soften, without a coffinBreathing beside me, feeling its warmness Phantom affection gives a human, performanceWitness and know, fracture and hurt Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed Shield like a house, closing its doors Curved in the dark, rinses of yours

A. Savage is a hell of a lyricist.

Man that bass guitar chorus lead-in is infectuous groove baby!

This is amazing. Probably their best song yet.

Uhh holy shit..this is going to be a landmark work for them. This is fucking wonderful

This is one of those sneaky sad songs. The music is incredible but the lyrics make me want to tear my heart out

that cover art is dope

I discovered them last week and went to their concert yesterday. What a band, and what a song.

what a fucking brilliant song.

never have i heard my anxiety so accurately yet eloquently described

this is how you do a title track

If I were to believe the comment section, Parquet Courts sounds like every band that ever existed.

I love the style of parquet courts, so many different influences in there, brilliant

love this album

Awesome. these guys never fail to deliver.

best song of the year

I can listen to this forever

The lyrics are amazing

Holy shit they sound EXACTLY like Parquet Courts

Love it, so Pavement. Hope you guys come to Argentina some day, I really want it

they never disappoint...

i think i this is what got me into indi music in the end, im listening to this again (added this to a playlist like 4 years ago) and i dig it honestly

they just keep getting better

Beautiful song

this song gets really good

Their masterpiece

This song is like someone gently stroking my brain with a feather

I love this

Huge Television- Marquee Moon vibes from this. Good song!

Great band/Great song!!!!!!!

killer title track!

The release can't come fast enough.

This band sounds a lot like Parkay Quarts

killer song!

great track boisssssss

Killed it.

This song saved my life.

I grew up going to small shows like Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Sugar, Butthole Surfers, Dead Milmen, PiL...... I went to see PC in Vancouver at the Rickshaw. This song was a highlight of the show. PC brought out some nostalgia moments...and I time travelled a bit. I purchased their lps and was curious to see if they're more artists or expressionist. seeing them live made a huge swing in my head that they're legit and not a preachy entitled bratcore kid band.

great songwriting as always. These new songs feel way bigger, with more pronounced structures. It's nice to see Savage sincerely project his voice like this -- his tone is way more vulnerable and earnest. The vocal delay / reverb on the chorus is an interesting choice... I agree with the commenter about the corny U2 vibe.

lovely

The best of those psychedelic + art rock years... in one album, in one band.

beautiful-beautiful-beautiful !!!!!

going to see these dudes edinburgh next month, Mercury rev 2 days after I think. Will be good x

recall so fondly... 11/19/2023

Found this when I asked what I would like compared to "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire. I'm so happy I got sent here.

really nice.

who ever mixed this is fucking brilliant

2:29 i love and hate that they only do that chord thing with the bass once in the entire song. on one hand. doing it once makes it special, and on the other i wanna hear it more

Yassssss Kween!!!

89 people didn't even deserve it.

Would have been appropriate for this band to play at the Old Boston Garden when the Celtics played basket ball on the legendary Parquet floor until the Garden closed in 1995 and torn down a year later. Imagine advertising: Parquet courts to play on the Parquet Floor LOL. When the New Garden opened they did bring the Parquet floor to the new building.

Probably my most favourite band at the moment, they have taken The Velvet Underground, Television, , The Fall, Camper Van Beethoven, & Pavement and re-distilled their essence in a most original way.

If I hear this band compared to Pavement again, I'll kill someone. PC is the best band of the past five years; glad their new album is so spine-chillingly good

They make good music who cares who they sound like.

Cascading vocals excellent.

Hendrix is back!!

This album is gonna fuckin awesome...

❤️

Now the ball is in YOUR parquet court

I should imagine this live would be as sonic as they come, Austin will shred his gee tar.

his voice on this song reminds me jimi hendrix so much

This doesn't sound like Television or Pavement, but it sure as hell lends a lot from Wire's Outdoor Miner

As much as this song is derivative of their (great) material on Sunbathing Animal and Light Up Gold, the lead vox are so much more sophisticated- this track is kind of like a summation of everything great about this band!

They remind me of Doves, I think they're way more special than mediocre!! ❤❤

raw

So I know everyone thinks this sounds like every band but has anyone compared it to "Up The Junction" by SQUEEZE? I feel like that's really the best comparison.

it's THE YUMMY FUR!!!!!

Hum it perfectly

is it or album cover in this video looks insanely vibrant and high definition?

ashtray is crowded / bottle is empty

Great sound! something from the 60's ?

reminds me of a lot of bands. has a vocal styling a lot like Johnathan Richman but also hear a little Jimi Hendrix in there. I sorta get the television and talking heads sound in some of the songs but I don't get how people compare them to pavement

Behold the perception of the concept of a human consciousness

Hated the second record, but if this track is representative of the new album, I'm going to love it :)

In his new album, they sound also like Gang of Four and The Clash.

When he goes into the chorus: it sounds like something from ELO

I don't think the Pavement comparison is inaccurate. Sounds a lot like Harness your Hopes.

ISSN 1259 4/21/16..hey I ‘m try to catch up on all mr RS issues!

Now, I'm not saying this song *sounds like* Squeeze's 'Up the Junction'. It's just that it reminded me of it.

Gonna tell my kids this is Franz Ferdinand

Does anyone else hear a touch of Hendrix in his voice in the verses?

Stranglers+Television+Pavement had a baby, a sweet little baby.

I haven't heard too many of these guys' songs... Do they have any other songs in this style?

Hearing a touch of elliott smith in some of these transitions mate

Wow is all I've got to say.

any gigs in the UK coming up?!

Does anyone else get Whitney Houston and slayer vibes from this song

Anybody know what keyboard they're using on the interlude @2:23?

There’s so much people who hate parquet courts I don’t see why there great

shit its like human performance, i get now, damn i'm such a pothead

Don't listen to this if you've recently broken up with someone.

This one is very Orange Juice- / Edwyn Collins-like in vocals.

Am I the only one who first thought they were British? I don't know why? The sound or the style of singing.

for some reason this somg reminds me of the theme to that weird sonic game about like, king arthur or whatever

I hear Jonathon Richman/Richard Hell.

Sounds in the beginning like Richard Hell also.

velvet underground +++++++++++++++++++++++ pavement ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: parquet courts

Whenever I listen to this song I imagine what it would be like to be a corporate slave
