DOWNLOAD: Parquet Courts - Light Up Gold
Elvis Costello, Wire, Velvet Underground, youthful energy turned bitter from smoking too many bowls. Parquet Courts gets a certain kind of person (aka me), and that person wants their rock with more than a little style, art damage and eye-rolling. "Light Up Gold" is a ramped-up bruiser with an avalanche of attitude-filled lyrics and a snotty, near-British take on punk that feels well-worn but quite refreshing.
