Parquet Courts have released their new album ‘Wide Awake’, the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Human Performance’.
The record saw the band team up with producer Danger Mouse. “We definitely didn’t go into it thinking we wanted to have something more polished,” bassist Sean Yeaton ponders in the latest issue of Dork.
“But I think it had come to the point for us, especially after working on that record with Daniele Luppi [2017 collaborative album ‘Milano’], which was our first experience working with a producer, that it adds a lot to the creative process.
“To have this other set of ears to help out with creative differences that come up, and by having another person there who isn’t playing the parts but is hearing you trying to work them out, provides a good sounding board.
“Danger Mouse was integral because he never tried to take ownership over the idea, or the feeling of songs.”
