With Wide Awake! (2018) produced by Danger Mouse, Parquet Courts moved further than ever down the chaotic path of postpunk revival, inspired by the ghosts of Jonathan Richman, The Fall, The Feelies, Velvet Undergound and a bit of Pavement. Andrew Savage's band also had fun changing its vibe with salutary pop sparks and hip-swinging grooves... Produced by Rodaidh McDonald and John Parish (PJ Harvey), Sympathy For Life pushes the envelope ever further, taking in some Talking Heads-style mixes along the way (such as the groovy Plant Life). To concoct this seventh album, the Brooklynites first set about playing some long, long jams before pruning them, creating some finely calibrated songs. This record takes inspiration from the New York club scene of the seventies, notably the Loft, David Mancuso's cult informal club where Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and Louie Vega made their names. Parquet Courts also bears the imprint of Primal Scream's Screamadelica. In the end, there are some strong dance markers, but they never shift the band from a visceral rock vibe. On the contrary: Parquet Courts sets up its 100% garage rock philosophy right in the middle of the dancefloor. It's invigorating. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
