Personnel: Austin Brown (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Andrew Savage (vocals, guitar); Max Savage (vocals, drums, percussion); Sean Yeaton (vocals); Justin Pizzoferrato (horns). Audio Mixer: Austin Brown . Recording information: Dreamland Studios, West Hurley, NY (2015); Sonelab, Easthampton, MA (2015); The Loft, Chicago, IL (2015). After getting a bunch of weirdness out of their system on the Monastic Living EP, Parquet Courts return with their most focused album to date. Human Performance finds the band at its songwriting peak: almost every song is catchy and tight enough to be a single. Kicking off the album with the driving, droney "Dust" sets the tone right away, with its clean production and punchy rhythm section pounding the chorus directly into the brains of listeners. The rest of the album alternates between relaxed songs that evoke the Go-Betweens ("Keep It Even," the title track) and jumpy uptempo tracks ("Pathos Prairie," "Outside"), with occasional bouts of oddball art pop (the goofy "I Was Just Here") and long-form jams (the bongo-filled "One Man No City") thrown in for good measure. Throughout, the band sounds completely at ease; both vocalists prove adept at shouting, but show a strong amount of tenderness and subtlety on the quieter tracks like "Human Performance" and "Keep It Even." They still kick up plenty of scrappy noise, though, and tracks like "Paraphrased" and "Berlin Got Blurry" bring plenty of off-kilter art rock to the mix. The strength of Human Performance's songwriting is matched by its powerful sound. The guitars crackle and chime more than ever, and as they twist and clash, the clarity of the recording really lets the listener feel their electric energy. This is an immediate album that doesn't need a few plays to sink into one's consciousness. The band has always made exciting, energetic indie rock, the kind that jumps out of the speakers and runs around the room like it was hopped up on poetry and Adderall. Sunbathing Animal began the process with great success, and Human Performance shows that the band is just as vital and alive when it dials the intensity (way) down, cleans up some of the messy parts, and generally grows up in all the right ways. It's a career-building move to be sure, one that for most bands is the first step in their inevitable demise. In Parquet Courts' case, it's a step that could lead anywhere -- and that's an exciting prospect. ~ Tim Sendra

商品の紹介

ファーガス&ジェロニモのメンバーとしてテキサスで活動していたアンドリュー・サヴェージを中心に結成した4人組ガレージ・パンク・バンド、パーケイ・コーツが英ロンドン老舗レーベルRough Tradeから3rdアルバム『ヒューマン・パフォーマンス』をリリース!
ローファイ、パンク、ロックンロール、ガレージとやさぐれギターを掻き鳴らすロック・アルバムが完成。11年に結成し『アメリカン・スペシャルティーズ』をカセットのみでリリースし、活動拠点でもあるニューヨークのノー・ウェーブ・シーンに通するライヴ活動をスタート。地道な活動とリリースがクチコミで話題となり、今や日本を始めイギリス、ヨーロッパでも注目を集めている。2014年には2ndアルバム『サンベイシング・アニマル』をリリース、7月にはフジロック・フェスティバル'14に出演を果たした。

Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Parquet Courts approach their jittery art-punk guitar buzz with a playful sense of adventure that sets them way ahead of the pack." Spin - "There's a beating heart and unobstructed brain here for the current consciousness that proves once and for all they're more Minutemen than Pavement." Magnet - "[T]he stylistic breadth on their finest album is unprecedented. Who knew even these great lyricists and droners had power-pop, Rage Against The Machine-style rapping and country all in them -- much less on the same album?" NME (Magazine) - "It's easy to simply pore over Savage's frantic wordplay...but the music is equally brilliant." Paste (magazine) - "[A]n album that is impressively well-balanced among hooks, smarts and sharp edges." Pitchfork (Website) - "Parquet Courts' third album is a bracing snapshot of a band on a roll. Their music is not explicitly political, but Parquet Courts are definitely a thinking band, and a critical one."

2010年代のブルックリンのオルタナ・シーンから登場し、ラフ・トレード経由でその名を知らしめたパーケイ・コーツ。前作で見られた勢い満点のガレージ・ロックなムードを踏襲しつつ、早くも4枚目となるこのアルバムではさらなる自由を求め、ぺイヴメントみたいなローファイ・サウンドへと自身のスタイルを発展させている。ユルく気ままにやっているように見えて、実は緻密な部分もあったりするので侮れない。
