Parquet Courts Wide Awaaaake! Awake! Vinyl LP
"Parquet Courts' 'Wide Awake!' bursts onto the indie rock scene with a vibrant energy and a sense of urgency that's impossible to ignore. Released in 2018, this album is a testament to the band's evolution, showcasing their ability to blend punk ethos with elements of funk, post-punk, and even disco, resulting in a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly innovative.
From the moment the title track kicks in with its infectious groove and anthemic chorus, it's clear that 'Wide Awake!' is not your typical indie rock record. The band's trademark wit and social commentary are still present, but this time they're delivered with a newfound sense of groove and swagger. Tracks like 'Total Football' and 'Violence' tackle issues of political unrest and societal discord head-on, while 'Almost Had to Start a Fight / In and Out of Patience' channels the band's punk roots with its frenetic energy and raw intensity.
What sets 'Wide Awake!' apart is its willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations. Songs like 'Freebird II' and 'Before the Water Gets Too High' experiment with unconventional song structures and unexpected sonic textures, keeping the listener on their toes from start to finish. Meanwhile, 'Tenderness' closes out the album on a surprisingly poignant note, with its soulful melodies and introspective lyrics serving as a reminder of the band's emotional depth beneath the surface.
In conclusion, Parquet Courts' 'Wide Awake!' is a bold and exhilarating statement from a band at the height of their powers. With its infectious rhythms, thought-provoking lyrics, and genre-defying sound, this album is sure to resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike, cementing Parquet Courts' status as one of the most exciting bands in indie rock today."
