Parquet Courts
Lots of indie bands these days are content to revive the ’90s, but Parquet Courts are wise enough to dig into the ’70s and ’80s too. “Stoned And Starving,” their crowning achievement thus far, could be Television or Sonic Youth as easily as it could be Pavement. Yet no matter how much of debut LP Light Up Gold seems beamed in directly from the canon, it’s far too restless and alive to scan as mere retro kitsch. Songs this timeless could just as easily be from your unborn children’s debut LP. – Chris
