Parquet Courts share puppeteered "Human Performance" video

June 29, 2016

Parquet Courts have shared the video for the title track from this year’s Human Performance. Conceived, directed, and puppeteered by Phil Collins (yes, of course, the acclaimed visual artist Phil Collins), it puts a surreal spin on the songs lyrical themes and you can watch that below. “Human Performance” is also to be released as a 12″ single titled Performing Human on August 19 with remixes by Eaters and Chris Pickering of Future Punx.

As mentioned, Parquet Courts will be on tour in August, including a sold-out Brooklyn show at Market Hotel. They’ll also be headed to the UK and Europe in the fall. All dates are listed below.
