Parquet Courts

In February 2015, when Parquet Courts delivered their energetic live performance of "Always Back In Town" at Palisades, they were riding a wave of momentum from their critically acclaimed album "Sunbathing Animal," which was released just months earlier in June 2014. This album showcased their signature blend of post-punk and garage rock, continuing to build on the quirky, sometimes surreal aesthetics found in their earlier work. Following this live recording, Parquet Courts would delve into a new musical direction with their 2016 release, "Human Performance." It’s fascinating to see how their sound evolved during this period; the live energy captured here hints at their willingness to experiment while staying rooted in their DIY ethos. The Palisades venue itself became a beloved spot for artists and fans alike, making this performance a memorable highlight in their journey.
