Parquet Courts is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 2010. The band consists of Andrew Savage (vocals, guitar), Austin Brown (vocals, guitar), Sean Yeaton (bass), and Max Savage (drums). "Sunbathing Animal", the band's third album was recorded in 2013, over the course of three sessions.

‘Plant Life’ is a 3-song 12” anchored around the titular track. The band’s Austin Brown says: “The song ‘Plant Life’ is my story of rediscovering my passion for music through New York City dance floors. It's a distillation from a 40 plus minute improvisation prompted by producer Rodaidh McDonald, and every way we've sliced it up illustrates a different mood of the same perspective of ecstasy and aspiration to not only grow, but form roots outside of our own barriers.” Side B features a remix of “Plant Life” from Vancouver’s Yu Su that funks up the bassline as well as a celestial mix from Peak Wifi reminiscent of Midori Takada.

Parquet Courts’ thought-provoking rock is dancing to a new tune. Sympathy For Life finds the Brooklyn band at both their most instinctive and electronic, spinning their bewitching, psychedelic storytelling into fresh territory, yet maintaining their unique identity.
