Human Performance
āEvery day it starts, anxiety,ā began the first song on 2014ās Content Nausea. Those were essentially the songās only lyrics, but Human Performance picks up where that thought left off, picking apart the anxieties of modern life: āThe unavoidable noise of NYC that can be maddening, the kind of the impossible struggle against clutter, whether it's physical or mental or social,ā says singer, guitarist and Human Performance producer/mixer Austin Brown.
There has always been the emotional side of Parquet Courts, which has always had an important balance with the more discussed cerebral side, but Andrew Savage sees Human Performance as a redistribution of weight in that balance. "I began to question my humanity, and if it was always as sincere as I thought, or if it was a performance,ā says Savage. āI felt like a sort of malfunctioning apparatus,ā he says. āLike a machine programmed to be human showing signs of defect.ā
The sonic diversity, time, and existential effort that went into its creation makes Human Performance Parquet Courts' most ambitious record to date. It's a work of incredible creative vision born of seemingly insurmountable adversity. It is also their most accessible record yet.
