Parquet Courts are ramping up to the release of Human Performance later this year, and the band have shared a brand new video to help ease the wait.
Album cut "Berlin Got Blurry" has been treated to the band's "best-produced" clip to date, with a press release declaring that it's "ya know, like a proper VIDEO video." The song grapples with themes of existential disorientation and unfamiliar circumstances, but channels the message through a bright, jangly sound.
"I wrote the song in Berlin, so it made sense to try to recreate my experience for the video," songwriter Andrew Savage said in a statement. "It was shot on 16mm by the wonderful, talented and patient Claes Nordwall, who was able to take my very loose concept and make it into something really beautiful."
