Parquet Courts have unveiled a new song called Watching Strangers Smile, which they debuted on The Ellen Degeneres Show.
The poppy track finds frontman Andrew Savage displaying some intense vocals, and comes from the Brooklyn band's sessions for their 2021 album 'Sympathy For Life'. Savage said:
"Interestingly enough, this song is the b-side to the Black Widow Spider single, which was released only in Japan via Big Love Records. The music was recorded during the sessions for 'Sympathy For Life', but it was left unfinished. I recorded the vocals on my own to sort of keep from going stir crazy that first lockdown summer. Apologies to my neighbors for the long afternoon spent screaming these vocals in my bedroom."
The group will embark on a UK and Ireland tour in June, following North American and European dates in the spring. Tickets are on sale.
