Parquet Courts - Sunbathing Animal (Orange Vinyl)

Much as LIGHT UP GOLD & the subsequent EP TALLY ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU BROKE offered a uniquely tattered perspective on everyday life, SUNBATHING ANIMAL applies the same layered thoughts and sprawling noise to more cerebral, inward-looking themes. While heightened in it's heaviness and mania, the album also represents a huge leap forward in terms of songwriting and vision.
