Parquet Courts Announce New Album, ‘Sunbathing Animal’

Not content with supplying us with a new cut of their noisy brand of punk for this year’s Record Store Day, Parquet Courts have gone one further: they’ve just announced a brand new album.

Following up their breakthrough LP ‘Light Up Gold’, and the more recent ‘Tally All The Things That You Broke’ EP, Brooklyn’s finest four-piece are due to unveil their new record, ‘Sunbathing Animal’, on 2nd June through Rough Trade Records.
