Even though all of the members of Parquet Courts are originally from Texas, the four-man band is all about Brooklyn, New York. Its brand of punk harkens back to the ’80s when the simplicity of the genre was its beauty and soul. The band released its two albums on cassette tape after recording on an analog four-track recorder circa 1992, and the raw, garage tone of the tunes is a testament to Parquet Courts revivalist vision, making it a refreshing departure from the hipster, pop radio jams of many of its counterparts.
