[@tagomago1121]

Doble 9, la mejor

[@waynedexter]

This is giving me early 90s Manchester vibes, just a smidge.

[@TheRabidDolphin99]

after denise johnson and andrew weatherall died last year this could be the perfect tribute album to screamadelica

[@ohyouhandsomedevil]

Baggy!

[@raviprakriya9082]

Happy Mondays a bit?

[@InfotainmentScan]

@@ohyouhandsomedevil After a decade-plus of ultra-skinny clothing popularity, it is past time for a Loose Fit to come back in style.

Im getting BJM a tad

[@BiaMia09]

I swear to god these dudes are bringing so much joy into my life again just by uploading one song

[@dylanlee32]

Sean, you've really outdone yourself with that bassline, my lord

[@zoloftzambuki2271]

Bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@jamesinmans]

My people invented Bass...and I.....concur!

[@wisskier]

I'm pushing 60 yo and this sort of music busted me out of the olds music preference pattern!

[@RickyHarding]

I’m making plans for the day all of this is through Seeing my path there Hearing the song I’ll sing and food that I’ll taste and all the drinks that I’ll consume Return the smile of an unmasked friend As we take streets I don’t walk down cause I want to avoid Fighting temptation Walk at a downtown pace and treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed Sometimes I wonder how long ’till I’m a face in one? What an iconic message for the era.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

the self aware lyrics put the band on another level of today, it makes me happy thinking of gratitude for things you used to take for granted

[@steadyrhythms9571]

wasn't crazy about it first listen, then listened to wide awake all the way through and came back to this song and yeah this is great.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I like how they have this old school garage rock and roll kind of sound buried deep in their style

[@alextorres7655]

sean yeaton one of the best modern bassists. driving every song all the time

[@mgmegt5920]

I couldn't get this beat out of my head since the Jersey City show, and here it is!

*LYRICS [pulled from our good friend Genius]* I’m making plans for the day all of this is through Seeing my path and hearing the song I’ll sing And food that I’ll taste and all the drinks that I’ll consume Return the smile on an unmasked friend As we take streets I don’t walk down ‘cause I want to avoid Fighting temptation, walk at a downtown pace And treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed Sometimes I wonder, how long ‘til I’m a face in one? You’d be surprised to learn what you could bear to lose Wanting and needing, not getting either one And planning the future as if time is yours to choose Pick out a movie, a sandwich from a screen Yeah, how many days in life will I spend underground? Hours in total, as many as it takes And how many ways of feeling lousy have I found? Lately uncounted I’ve found a reason to exist Written on the tile Of the platform wall Begging not to go extinct To all those who saw How many times now have I walked into that room With the day shining through purple film? Combining sound from the corners that you use yourself to tune Like a piano, well-tuned and walking slowly Socks on the carpet while some kid watches my shoes Feeling the sine like a bolt of lightning House of dreams, you were once my cure for New York City blues Is this goodbye then? Will you be on the other side? Waiting there for me? Nothing left to want Cashing in my claim to a Life lived mostly free [Guitar Solo] Will you be on the other side Waiting there for me Nothing left to want Cashing in my claim to a Life lived mostly free

[@thenorthrocksmusic]

Sometimes you get positively surprised by discovering new music. This song is one of those gems ! We are Parquet Courts fans from now on !

[@brendanbradley7609]

Straight into my Parquet Courts Top Ten. Getting a bit of a Free Range (The Fall) vibe from the bassline.

[@InfotainmentScan]

God knows I love "Free Range" and was eager to credit it for inspiration, but I have to admit to not really hear a very close resemblance... but I do hear a broader Fall vibe especially in the chorus (and especially in its bassline).

[@qotsarule7]

I hear ya

[@mandomtz]

I hear it too!

[@gabrielherbas402]

Been waiting new music from this guys the whole year. Completely hook to all they have done till now

[@williamwrath]

You guys have been making music for a long time now, but I only recently discovered the band. It's been a heavy rotation since, and it's definitely one of my all-time favorites. Wide Awake & Sympathy For Life have become the soundtrack of my waking hours, and I've been doing a deep dive into all your other offerings of the last dozen years. I hope to someday soon be a smiling unmasked face in the crowd dancing to your tunes. Thanks for all the joy you've brought me in these trying times.

[@KevinM2732]

This band have got a great groove going for the new album. I love this song and Black Widow Spider

[@BUSCUS012]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite parquet courts songs

[@misterplumtreediseas]

This is catching the party that has been summer 2021 in NYC as well as basically giving us an episode of How to with John Wilson. Music rules too

[@drdrai7479]

Awesome. Haven’t been this psyched for an album release in a long time.

Is there a song where NYC can be perfectly distilled into? The answer is: yes.

Very Happy Mondays-ish. Got to see these guys last Saturday, love that rock and roll is coming back, slowly.....

[@RLSteffler]

I know this is the intention, but this video just makes me want to go out and party for the first time in two years

[@Rlover]

This song is INCREDIBLE!!! I found you guys 6 weeks ago! I love this band

[@KermitTheFud]

was getting worried boys, but you’re back with an absolute banger, the album might just be the key to saving 2021

[@maxmonas7131]

Another post-punk album in 2021? This makes me a happy boy.

[@joshkatz]

Daniel arnold x parquet court is the combo I never knew I needed so badly.

[@a.harrison4613]

This is just about the funkiest tune they've done yet. Reminds me a bit of early 90's Primal Scream? Has a kinda nice minor key punky feel to little bits I think. Big fan, sounds like I still am.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

This one reminds me of late '80s/early '90s BritPop -- think Happy Mondays, The Farm, EMF, Brand New Heavy, et. al.!

[@thelostbread]

Totally agree. Thought they were British when I first heard them.

[@harperellenburg]

Pretty, pretty, pretty… pretty good.

[@thebarredofsalford7153]

Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic.

[@alwindsor7299]

How to with John Wilson (Parquet Courts)

[@elrabeechum5180]

YES! I kept thinking of John in the car, offering small bits of introverted commentary on these boisterous people...

[@tangodelta7809]

Such fantastic such replay

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

Outstanding tune. What a great listen. Radio had me hooked.

[@Slog01]

I heard this the first time while more than half asleep at 4 am in the Radio. I dreamt a whole video to that song in bed. It was great but when the song ended I realized that I was dreaming, jumped out of bed and wrote down the name of the song for the Day after... Here I am. Parquet Courts You Rock!

[@Huedtunes]

What'd you dream?

omg, thanks guys, you've already saved my life with your music

¡Kings are back! 😎🔥

[@Lisa_Evers]

Really great video!! I feel that it really captures that feeling of a summer's night in NYC...how you never know what you might see or encounter... I liked paying attention to Every Single Clip in the video...the speed of it...the tiny bursts or clips...that's what it's actually like walking the streets...it's visual and aural overload...you often only get these milliseconds of experiences, and then there's something else to attract your eyes or ears. I also loved the witty way of obscuring people's faces with the black squiggle. ;-)

[@MegaSlick75]

Hints of UK awesomeness. !¡Me gusta!

[@lukastaylor9544]

Now when I see someone filming peoples' feet on the sidewalk I have to ask myself whether they're people with foot fetishes or just the best art rock band of the century
