Album Capsules--Parquet Courts

Parquet Courts

 Light Up Gold

(80/100)

So the Strokes and Sonic Youth were drinking in a Manhattan loft recently and, as tends to happen in situations like this one, things got out of hand and nine months later they had a baby that looked like the Replacements.  They named it Parquet Courts, and it immediately picked up the instruments at hand and made this album.  With 15 tracks over 33 minutes, things really glide by.  At five-plus minutes long, "Stoned and Starving" below is double the length of most of the other songs.
