Tom wrote about these guys from Texas living in Brooklyn nearly four years ago, and posted a pretty good song that I don’t remember hearing. This is the title track to Parquet Courts new album, which the Dean of Rock Critics gave an A and said: “Their aural gestalt will never be on a Stones-Ramones level, but those are the comparisons—in an appalling year when too many g-g-b-d types have chosen to gaze inward, I doubt we’ll hear a greater album.” I gather I’m immune to the irony. Or ironies.
What does g-g-b-d mean?
I don’t know. I figured if the Dean typed it, it was something. So, chords?
No idea.
Could be chords, not the weirdest chord progression and I’m sure it’s been done, unmemorably. I was thinking maybe Geriatrics Going Back Down or Good Guitarists But Dying.
