{"product_id":"parquet-courts-human-performance-cd","title":"Parquet Courts – Human Performance (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrew Savage and Austin Brown formed Parquet Courts in Denton, Texas before relocating to New York, bringing a literary restlessness to their songwriting that sets them apart from most of their contemporaries. Human Performance arrived after a remarkably prolific stretch that included multiple releases in a single year, and the relative patience behind this one shows; the band had clearly been sitting with these songs, letting them breathe and bruise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir third album, Human Performance, establishes Parquet Courts as simply one of the best rock bands active in the world right now, no qualifiers needed. Not “in Brooklyn,” not “something-something millennial,” not “art-rock this” or “slacker indie that” - but a brilliant, accomplished rock band that have established themselves as deserving a role in the historical legacy of the genre alongside the likes of The Velvet Underground, REM, Sonic Youth, and (okay, fine) Pavement. The LP – their masterpiece - brings together the tunefulness, wit, and guitar wizardry that earned them a crush of critical praise \u0026amp; excitable fans right out of the gate, with a deeply human sense of drive, of yearning, and of wisdom earned. At times nearly overwhelming in its emotional density, at others astonishing with sheer sonic deftness, Human Performance is a rare achievement: breathtaking and brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Dust (3:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Human Performance (4:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Outside (1:44)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. I Was Just Here (1:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Paraphrased (3:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Captive Of The Sun (2:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Steady On My Mind (3:38)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. One Man No City (6:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Berlin Got Blurry (3:26)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Keep It Even (2:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Two Dead Cops (3:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Pathos Prairie (2:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13. It's Gonna Happen (3:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 883870081023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rough Trade Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48802357411995,"sku":"473292","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-parquet-courts-human-performance-cd-relix.jpg?v=1781955088","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/parquet-courts-human-performance-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
