Parquet Courts

On August 6, 2014, Parquet Courts lit up the KEXP Studios with a live performance of "Dear Ramona," a track from their acclaimed album "Sunbathing Animal," which had dropped just a few months earlier in June. This period marked a pivotal moment in their career, as they were transitioning from the underground scene to wider recognition. "Sunbathing Animal" not only showcased their signature blend of punk, rock, and art-pop but also solidified their reputation for clever lyrics and infectious energy. Interestingly, this performance came at a time when the band was gaining momentum, and their unique sound was beginning to resonate more broadly, capturing the ears of both critics and fans alike. It’s a snapshot of their artistic growth – raw, energetic, and poignant, highlighting why they were becoming a force to reckon with in the indie music scene.
