Light Up Gold

Light Up Gold, released in 2012 by Parquet Courts, is a lo-fi indie rock album driven by angular, propulsive guitar lines, concise song structures, and deadpan vocal delivery. The songs mix terse, often wry lyrical observations with brisk, post punk and garage rock energy, and the spare production gives the record a raw, immediate feel. The album helped establish the band's concise, literate sound and increased their visibility in the indie rock scene.
