Parquet Courts "Dust" Track Review

Parquet Courts is releasing a new record, Human Performance, on Rough Trade on April 8. They just dropped their first song / video off the new record and it's so good.

"Dust" is a heavy reminder that everywhere you go, no matter what you do, no matter how many showers you take or how many times you "sweep," everything is filthy. You are filthy. Everything you touch is dirty. "Dust is everywhere, sweep," the song repeats. And it's true. An uncomfortable realization projected right into your face and your eardrums. Anxious, overwhelming, driving, this song rules.

The constant thumping of bass, riffs, and monotone classic vocals give way to a heavy anxiety-filled whirlwind of decay and noise that swirls around until you inevitably crack and peel the bugs off your rotten flesh you filthy pile of perfection.

Shit got weird there.
