Stream Parquet Courts’ Shrewdly Sad “Instant Disassembly”

Listen to another track from Parquet Courts’ great forthcoming LP, Sunbathing Animal.



Parquet Courts new record, Sunbathing Animal, is shaping up to be one of the essential rock records of the summer, and the seven-plus minute "Instant Dissasembly" is a definite standout. With its oft-repeated earworm guitar lick, it channels the muggy restlessness of a New York summer night, when even after downing a bunch of beers there are still a million thoughts racing through your sweaty head. It's a slow song for them, almost like a ballad or something, and the shrewd-as-ever lyrics are low-key devastating (I keep repeating myself/ there's nothing left to dismantle of the house that just collapsed on itself). Sunbathing Animal is out June 3rd via What's Your Rupture?/Mom+Pop; read bassist Sean Yeaton's reading recommendations from our What We're Reading column right here.
