Interview with Andrew Savage of Parquet Courts

By Will Prim

After 3 years and a pandemic, Parquet Courts have released a new album and are back on the road. Sympathy for Life, released in October of 2021 on Rough Trade, marks the band’s 7th full length LP, and portrays how the group has continued to grow even after over 10 years of bandhood. I was lucky enough to sit down and talk with lead-singer and guitar player Andrew Savage before the band’s show at First Avenue in Minneapolis. We discussed how COVID has changed the band’s outlook on touring, the dance influence in the new album, the Ellen show, and much more. Check out the full interview below!
