Parquet Courts Share “Black & White” Video; Sunbathing Animal Out Now
After allowing the album to be streamed online for the past week, Parquet Courts have released their new album Sunbathing Animal on What’s Your Rupture?/Mom+Pop. In addition to the release of the album, the band have also released a new video for the song “Black & White” which can be seen here.
Parquet Courts are an American punk rock band based in Brooklyn, New York, that formed in late 2010. The band consists of Andrew Savage, Austin Brown, Sean Yeaton, and Max Savage. The new video was directed by Austin Brown and Johann Rashid, a Melbourne-based artist who has directed videos for UV Race, Eddy Current Suppression Ring and others. It was inspired by the experimental films of William Burroughs and Brion Gysin and meant to represent the depth and complexity of the personal stories which exist in a simple city stroll. Filmed on Andrew Savage’s street in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, the video ends looking into the room in which the “Sunbathing Animal” video was filmed.
Parquet Courts are also scheduled to go on tour in support of Sunbathing Animal which is due to commence in Dallas, Texas on June 3rd and carry on throughout July. Find a full list of scheduled performance dates below.
