The band is fronted by Andrew Savage, who is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by Austin Brown (Guitar), Sean Yeaton (Bass) and Max Savage (Drums).
The bands’ debut release is described as The Fall meets Neil Young- which all makes sense on the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”. The quartet wanders through the American and British underground, picking away their favorite parts with confidence. The lyrics, when intelligible, are bizarre and dramatic. “She looked at me like a fry pan reducing,” moans Savage, from the same lustful subconscious built by the darker moments of psychedelia. Then at times, such as on the 70’s folkish “Square States”, thoughts are more sentimental and transparent. The setting for “American Specialties” ranges from a crusty Brooklyn bodega, to an endless Texas desert. If these sorts of soundscapes appeal to your mind, then you're sure to stumble upon Parquet Courts sooner or later.

Lyrics
I know exactly where I was when I
First saw you the way I see you now, through these eyes, waiting to retry
Those pristine days I recall so fondly
So few are trials when a life isn't lonely, and now if only
I'd never felt it, I'd never heard it
I know I loved you, did I even deserve it, when you returned it?
There's no suspicion, no hesitation
Believing through the eyes of sore, adoration
Witness and know, fracture and hurt
Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed
Shield like a house, closing its doors
Curved in the dark, rinses of yours
Ashtray is crowded, bottle is empty
No music plays and nothing moves without drifting, into a memory
Busy apartment, no room for grieving
Sink full of dishes and no trouble believing, that you are leaving
Mid-sentence tremors, mind at its weakest
One way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with
Witness and know, fracture and hurt
Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed
Shield like a house, closing its doors
Curved in the dark, rinses of yours
In walks the darkness, I pitch without you
Asks me do I realize what I'd done and who I'd done to, indeed I do know?It never leaves me, just visits less often
It isn't gone and I won't feel its grip soften, without a coffinBreathing beside me, feeling its warmness
Phantom affection gives a human, performanceWitness and know, fracture and hurt
Eyes in the fire, blink unrehearsed
Shield like a house, closing its doors
Curved in the dark, rinses of yours

Ashtray is crowed, bottle is empty, no music plays and nothing moves without drifting, into a memory.

A. Savage is a hell of a lyricist.
@seanno9744
This is one of those sneaky sad songs. The music is incredible but the lyrics make me want to tear my heart out
@paddycourage
This is amazing. Probably their best song yet.

If I were to believe the comment section, Parquet Courts sounds like every band that ever existed.
@vernpascal1531
Only if every band that ever existed was this good.
@paulsouth1338
I like their sound, but I kind of do think they sound a little like every other band.
