Parquet Courts – Wide Awake (QUICK ALBUM REVIEW)
Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZXS8Jpkiac
As a native New Yorker, any album that has the line “F**k Tom Brady” is AOTY material.
(New case study next week.)
Have a suggestion for what I should review? Let me know in the comments!
Wide Awake is the sixth studio album (or fifth if you don’t count the one as Parkay Quarts) from NYC rock band Parquet Courts, and their first produced by Danger Mouse. It was preceded by the singles “Almost Had To Start A Fight / In and Out of Patience,” “Wide Awake,” and “Mardi Gras Beads.” Their previous albums include Human Performance, Content Nausea, Sunbathing Animal, and Light Up Gold.

Honestly I didn’t really get the hype surrounding this thing. I enjoy it, and I’m a fan of the albums that inspired it (Wire’s Pink Flag, Television’s Marquee Moon) but at the end of the day it kinda just makes me wanna listen to those albums. I think it’s their most well written, and instantly catchy set of songs yet, but not one that I’m gonna be returning to that often
7/10
