Parquet Courts - Sympathy For Life
Released 22nd October 2021.
We have some exclusive tarot card packs to give away with purchases of the album.
Parquet Courts’ thought-provoking rock is dancing to a new tune. Sympathy For Life finds the Brooklyn band at both their most instinctive and electronic, spinning their bewitching, psychedelic storytelling into fresh territory, yet maintaining their unique identity.
Built largely from improvised jams, inspired by New York clubs, Primal Scream and Pink Floyd and produced in league with Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Hot Chip, David Byrne), Sympathy For Life was always destined to be dancey. Unlike its globally adored predecessor, 2018’s Wide Awake! the focus fell on grooves rather than rhythm.
“Wide Awake! was a record you could put on at a party,” says co-frontman Austin Brown. “Sympathy For Life is influenced by the party itself. Historically, some amazing rock records been made from mingling in dance music culture – from Talking Heads to Screamadelica. Our goal was to bring that into our own music.”

Released 26th March 2021. SK Album of the Year 2021. "A sublime meeting of minds between renowned electronic producer Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points, tenor sax titan Pharoah Sanders and the LSO. The result is a deeply textured, spacious work centred around a twinkling keyboard arpeggio with some of Sanders' most restrained and sensitive playing (plus the odd overblown bar of blues thrown in to demonstrate that, even at 81, the old fire hasn't dimmed a jot)." Sam Shepherd (Floating Points): ...
