Album Reviews
5 Stars
Parquet Courts - Wide Awake!
A gut-punch of an immediate classic.
3 Stars
Daniele Luppi & Parquet Courts - Milano
Its rough-and-ready sonic approach does justice to the underground movement that it aims to serve as homage to.
4 Stars
Parquet Courts - Sunbathing Animal
A triumphant slap in the face to all the slacker-taggers.
4-5 Stars
Parquet Courts - Light Up Gold
This is punk unbounded, both structurally and emotionally.
