New York jitter-rock kings Parquet Courts have been teasing a new album called Human Performance with a Brooklyn mural, and they’ve been playing new songs live. And now it can be told: The new album is coming in April. They took a year recording it, and according to singer/guitarist Austin Brown, it tackles circa-now anxieties: “The unavoidable noise of NYC that can be maddening, the kind of the impossible struggle against clutter, whether it’s physical or mental or social.” First single “Dust” is a fierce, propulsive rocker, a sort of garage-punk take on krautrock. Its video, from director Johann Rashid, shows us the apocalyptic visions of an office drone. Below, watch the video and check out the new album’s tracklist.
