Parquet Courts - Sunbathing Animal LP hardcore Cheb Abdelhak2014s Sunbathing Animal was the third Parquet Courts album. While heightened in its heaviness and mania, the album also represented a huge leap forward in terms of songwriting and vision. Still rooted firmly in the unshackled exploration and bombastic playing of their earlier work, everything here is amplified in its lucidity and intent. The songs wander through threads of blurry brilliance, exhaustion and fury at the hilt of every note.
