Parquet Courts have shared a new song and detailed a 2022 world tour – watch the video for ‘Black Widow Spider’ below.
The track is the latest preview of the New York band’s new album ‘Sympathy For Life’, which will come out on October 22 via Rough Trade.
So far, the band have shared lead single ‘Walking At A Downtown Pace’ and a physical-only single of the album track ‘Plant Life’.
Speaking of new track ‘Black Widow Spider’, guitarist/vocalist Andrew Savage said: “I told [producer] Rodaidh McDonald that I wanted to find a sound that was equal parts Can, Canned Heat and This Heat.
“He was really into that and probably took some glee in having such a bizarre challenge.”
Watch the video for the new single below:
Following a US tour that begins this month, Parquet Courts will tour ‘Sympathy For Life’ across the globe next year, with dates beginning in late February. UK dates in June include a London show at Brixton Academy.

Parquet Courts’ most recent album came in 2018 with ‘Wide Awake!’. Reviewing the album, NME wrote: “Parquet Courts are a magical band that make you feel everything all at once: youth, nostalgia, happiness, desolation, flying high, running low. The record’s last line, then, is fitting, Savage calling for “the fix of a little tenderness”. But where would the thrill be in that?”
