S5 E4: A. Savage

Parquet Courts are a band who has experimented and brought individual influences into their sound.  With their latest and 8th studio album, Sympathy for Life, they have pushed the boundaries yet again to create another wonderful record. 

Sonically the Parquet Courts totally squared with my music evolution: from the melody and nihilism of Velvets and Ramones, through to post-punk of The Fall and Raincoats and the discordant no wave of Sonic Youth.  But they threw it forward to the present day. Emotionally, it resonated with the nervousness, paranoia, nonchalance, panic and urgency that I often felt as I was growing up. They were a band that I could relate to and they sounded like music fans.  

It was an honour to spend some time chatting to A. Savage, singer and songwriter for the band and also an instinctive artist in his own right as well as being responsible for most of Parquet Courts' artwork and other visuals.
