Parquet Courts - "Plant Life" (Official Music Video)

[@s.o.4956]

This mv makes me cry for some reason. Just the last part where he’s giving out flowers and everybody’s enjoying themselves makes me sad because it’s so rare lol

[@BTBSteve]

the Austin songs are always my favorites

*LYRICS [pulled from our good friend Genius]* Hanging on a limb warm from the wind Cracking in the night just like a whip Grown up a plastic commodity Domestic rain will sanitize the scene Natural inclination Wicked, it can stack up pretty quick The soil’s got a fever! Once just letters pressed in wet cement Ink turned them to names on a debtor’s list Just loose leaves sat shakin’ in a cell While cinder blocks, they pile all around Natural inclination Left to grow and now we’re in the shade The soil’s got a fever!

[@NachosBorealis]

So bummed to see these guys get neglected off best of lists this year. It's really great! Seeing them & Mdou Moctar next year.

[@moomoocupcakes]

Mdou Moctar kick ass live. Saw them with Tame Impala.

[@Peapodzilla]

Don't be bummed it's okay

[@martincichowic4838]

I don’t disagree but this year has been a great year for new albums and new bands coming out with some really good genre pushing music. This album is definitely up there for me I especially enjoy Marathon of Anger. But this record felt loose in a good way. Just the band getting together and making some tracks they dig. I saw them at Hopscotch Music Fest in September and it was an awesome show! Enjoy them I wish I was able to catch them again this year

[@billypilgrim1]

I love PC but this is far from their best work.

Have you ever felt so good you couldn't keep time anymore? Listen again

[@minahkim6233]

oh yeah!!

[@Odnanref0MASTER]

Great Vibes! thank you

[@CJKeene06]

Great bit of filmmaking to make a dank song even danker. That feeling of emotional compromise... Jesus Christ everyone in this world needs that kind of release. To find something so overwhelmingly beautiful even the coldest people have no choice but to openly express themselves and share it... Kinda like how I felt when I first discovered Parquet Courts! Great shit guys. Can’t wait for the rest of these to drop. Edit: Me no always write good

[@morganburt2565]

it’s honestly so cool cuz the guy is literally the ‘fever’ talk abt in the song, but even he finds relief and joy in the beauty of nature. you get the feeling in the beginning of the video that corporate greed is how it is and always will be, but by the end it show it literally just takes a change of heart in those participating in it to change.

[@kyaudas1549]

these guys never miss

[@ptx0551]

been poking around these guys' catalog for a couple weeks now. Just so happened to catch this an hour and a half after it was released. Nice little track. Love the music.

wow man that’s so neat just casually poking about and then you see this only an hour after it was posted ?! holy cow what a coincidence that’s so cool and wacky

TH-RIL vibes. The bass player is awesome in this band.

[@kylebackiney7886]

What stands out to me are the lyrics from Tenderness, they appear to influence the visual theme of this video. “Affectation is a drought that you wait through when you hate everything that you do you wanna live outside the groove, then fine but it’s there like a flower blooming in your ears open up your mouth; pollinate your peers”

[@sentient_baby_carrot]

This album seems like a natural progression from Wide Awake, and Tenderness is where I landed on that conclusion. Lyrically, they call back - on Marathon, the lines "it's time everyone got to work / it's all community" from "power resembled if we are assembled". The way forward is by working together. But we have to connect with each other. The ending of this video is an example of that. Also, so many people said that the album clicked after seeing it live, at shows where you're connected with so many people. There's something there.

[@kathrynlewis9108]

Brilliant and clever and funny...obviously, had some Gang of Four influence among other greats. I love comedy and tragedy mixed. Keep writing and playing...

[@simonvanleeuwen7877]

I wanna give flowers now

[@kildogery]

Bit of Steve Mason in there. Loving it.

[@JimBobMcGillicuddy]

No matter how much a band rocks in its early days, the pull is always too strong to sound like the Talking Heads
