Listen: Parquet Courts announce new album ‘Wide Awake!’

Parquet Courts have announced their new album!

‘Wide Awake!’ – the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Human Performance’ – is out on 18th May. It’s been written by Andrew Savage and Austin Brown, and produced by Danger Mouse. As reported by Pitchfork, Savage said: “I personally liked the fact that I was writing a record that indebted to punk and funk, and [Danger Mouse]’s a pop producer who’s made some very polished records […] I liked that it didn’t make sense”.

As well as announcing the new album, the band have also shared its lead track, ‘Almost Had To Start A Fight/ In And Out Of Patience’, accompanied by visuals from Andrew himself. As its title suggests, it’s a track of two different halves.

Back in December we caught up with Parquet Courts to discuss their new, hardcore-influenced new album with Andrew Savage. Read the full interview here.
