One of the most respected and prolific indie bands of recent memory, Parquet Courts have provided listeners with a steady diet of new content since their inception about five years ago. Their fitth album hit shelves a mere four months after a 2015 EP that followed two albums in 2014... you get the idea.
Human Performance feels a lot more fussed over then previous releases, and the record's experiments and detours don't venture too far from the core sound. This sound, drawing equally from '80s college rock and punk, makes for an intriguing basis for a record, and
Human Performance matches this intrigue step for step with impassioned playing and intelligent lyrics. It shows that, when they take their time with a project and give it the attention it deserves, Parquet Courts can be worth all that hipster buzz.
