Parquet Courts

On February 6, 2017, Parquet Courts played a vibrant set at The Social in Orlando, showcasing tracks from their album "Human Performance," which had been released just ten months earlier. This album marked a notable evolution in their sound, leaning into themes of existentialism and interpersonal relationships, reflecting their growth as artists. What’s interesting about this period is that they were transitioning from their previous high-energy punk vibes to more nuanced, introspective songwriting. The Orlando show likely radiated the band's excitement and confidence at that moment in their career, where they were beginning to gain broader recognition. It’s a period that’s defined not just by catchy riffs but also by a willingness to experiment with form and content, making their live performances rich with layered meanings and energetic performances.
