Parquet Courts - Tally All The Things That You Broke LP xx1990 Ryan Sawyer and Andres Renteria

Ryan Sawyer and Andres Renteria

The kind of psych-rock chug and electric guitar wrangling that one could expect from a release from this crew

The piece may be arranged in a quartet format for any instrumentation that can alter its intonation with some degree of accuracy or produce a natural seventh harmonic

Parquet Courts - Tally All The Things That You Broke LP xx1990 Ryan Sawyer and Andres RenteriaTally All The Things That You Broke is far more than a stopgap in between full lengths; its the sound of Parquet Courts stretching out. Opener Youve Got Me Wonderin Now, with its melodic drive and persistent Flutophone running alongside the melody, balances the manic tendencies of Descend (The Way), which would have fit on Light Up Gold, and extended rager The More It Works, which would fit in a live set between Tyvek and Eddy Current Suppression
