Throw out the countless shallow Brooklyn bands of the blasé 2000's: Light Up Gold is a conscious effort to draw from the rich culture of the city - the bands like Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, and the Velvet Underground that are not from New York, but of it. A panoramic landscape of dilapidated corner-stores and crowded apartments is superimposed over bare-bones Americana, leaving little room for romance or sentiment. It's punk, it's American, it's New York... it's the colour of something you were looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLight Up Gold is a dynamic and diverse foray into the back alleys of the American DIY underground. Bright guitars swirl over looping, groovy post-punk bass lines and drums that border on robotic precision. While the initial rawness of the band’s early output remains, the songwriting has gracefully evolved. Recorded over a few days in an ice-box practice space, Light Up Gold is equally indebted to The Modern Lovers, the Fall and The Feelies as well as a slew of contemporaries like Tyvek and Eddy Current Suppression Ring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Parquet Courts have produced a debut that’s both instantly addictive and lastingly rewarding” – The Guardian (*****)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“Goddamn great… a powerful, personality-heavy record” – NME (9\/10)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RHYTHM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40426804183241,"sku":"467628","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/467628-Product-0-I-638992798202570825.jpg?v=1763684176","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/cd-parquet-courts-light-up-gold-reissue-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
