Episode 21: Parquet Courts

In their inaugural Punk Rock episode, and conclusion to Season 2, Dan and Kev are brushing off their unpreparedness to talk giddily about Parquet Courts’ 2012 release Light Up Gold. They discuss how in the hell a bunch of misfits from Texas ended up creating potentially the last great dent in the New York post-punk scene with their raw and enduring debut release. Will Dan and Kev ever nail down their definitions of post-punk or art punk? Does a straight-forward good time upstage a grand artistic statement? Who exactly are the kinds of people who love Parquet Courts and why are they so hard to find? Stay tuned for bonus content as Kev ventures to Ridgewood Queens for a pack of Swedish Fish.
