Parquet Courts Debuts New Single: “Watching Strangers Smile”

Today, Parquet Courts debuted a brand new single, “Watching Strangers Smile,” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. This follows the release of Sympathy For Life, their new album available now on Rough Trade Records. “Watching Strangers Smile” came out of the same sessions the band did with Rodaidh McDonald for Sympathy for Life.

The Ellen performance puts A. Savage’s fiery vocal performance at the forefront, once again cementing them as one of the most lauded indie bands of the last decade and giving a taste of what to expect on their spring 2022 North American tour. “Watching Strangers Smile” will be available on all streaming services at midnight tonight.

“Interestingly enough, this song is the b-side to the ‘Black Widow Spider’ single, which was released only in Japan via Big Love Records,” says A. Savage. “The music was recorded during the sessions for Sympathy for Life, but it was left unfinished. I recorded the vocals on my own to sort of keep from going stir crazy that first lockdown summer. Apologies to my neighbors for the long afternoon spent screaming these vocals in my bedroom.”

Check out the performance of “Watching Strangers Smile” below:

I have to say that this is one of the coolest tracks that I’ve heard so far in 2022. I’m curious to find out what Parquet Courts will be getting up to next. I am definitely going to stream their catalogue on Spotify to find out what the fuss is about.
