Sympathy for Parquet Courts

Parquet Courts surprend à chaque disque. Avec Sympathy for Life on pourrait les penser assagis. On se souvient pourtant de leur set bruitiste aux Nuits de Fourvière 2019 coincés entre la sérieuse Aldous Harding et la blague Mac DeMarco. Leur concert du Trianon de la semaine dernière a prouvé que les new-yorkais n’ont pas perdu leur fougue et leur énergie même si la version ci-dessous de leur Pulcinella peut surprendre. On marchera donc avec plaisir en rythme en compagnie de Parquet Courts du centre ville vers la périphérie .

Parquet Courts sera en concert à l’Epicerie Moderne ce mercredi 1er Juin. (Event)

Parquet Courts – Pulcinella

I want things so much more than I want to sometimes
And it feels like my brain is the binary code’s problem now
But I’d rather be stuffed with straw than made of tin
Because the mind wanders home like a cat does
When it knows it’s time to feed again

There are some places I won’t go near
You can measure their fright
By the shade I turn right when they’re asked about
I drag a chain of faces and names
Some I’ve cut off, some were lost
Somе will always be locked to me

I know you, at lеast I knew that I’d know you someday
You’re no more a stranger than the
Smile that shines out from the moon
And I’m not in the mood to be lonely no more
So I act like someone on familiar terms
With the uneasy side of love

I got so wrecked up waiting for you
Now your cheeks are pushed high
With the salt from your eyes in the taste of them
Who am I when I can’t be unwound?
« Darling, it’s me », as the mask comes off
« It always was »
