Parquet Courts – “Borrowed Time”

Late last year, the Brooklyn-via-Texas band Parquet Courts released Light Up Gold, a ridiculously fun debut album of energetically spidery jitter-punk. Today, that album gets a wider release. So here’s a good way for the band to introduce themselves to a wider audience: A no-frills video of them reducing a crowd at Brooklyn’s Death By Audio to a sweaty pigpile. Within three minutes of hitting play on their “Borrowed Time” video, you should know just about everything you need to know about this band. Elizabeth Skadden directs.
