Parquet Courts

During the live performance of "Freebird II" at L’Orangerie du Botanique on November 15, 2018, Parquet Courts was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album "Wide Awake!", released earlier that year. This album marks a significant point in their evolution, showcasing their knack for blending post-punk with an infectious rhythmic energy. It’s also interesting to note that the band's lyrical depth and sharp social commentary really shone through during this period, reflecting their growth as artists. The energy in the venue that night must have been electric, as fans engaged with the band's exploration of themes like modern disconnection and existential questioning. Who wouldn’t feel invigorated watching them perform? Knowing what came before and after, it's clear that this recording captured a pivotal moment in their trajectory.
