Our Take

In their latest offering, Wide Awake!, Parquet Courts prove that they're not just your average indie rock band. From the opening track 'Total Football,' it's clear that these guys are not afraid to shake things up. With punk-infused energy and politically-charged lyrics, this album is a refreshing departure from the norm.

Frontman Andrew Savage's distinctive vocals cut through the chaos, delivering sharp observations and witty commentary on the state of the world today. Tracks like 'Almost Had to Start a Fight/In and Out of Patience' and 'Wide Awake' are anthems for the disillusioned youth, urging listeners to wake up and take action.

The band's rhythm section, featuring Max Savage on drums and Sean Yeaton on bass, keeps things tight and propulsive throughout the album. Their fierce grooves propel each song forward with a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.

With nods to post-punk and dance-punk influences, Parquet Courts have crafted a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The album's production, handled by Danger Mouse, adds a glossy sheen without sacrificing any of the band's raw energy.

Overall, Wide Awake! is a triumph for Parquet Courts. It's a bold statement from a band that is unafraid to speak their minds and challenge the status quo. So put on your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to the sounds of Parquet Courts – this is one album you won't want to sleep on.
