Throw out the countless shallow Brooklyn bands of the blasé 2000's: Light Up Gold is a conscious effort to draw from the rich culture of the city - the bands like Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, and the Velvet Underground that are not from New York, but of it. A panoramic landscape of dilapidated corner-stores and crowded apartments is superimposed over bare-bones Americana, leaving little room for romance or sentiment. It's punk, it's American, it's New York... it's the colour of something you were looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLight Up Gold is a dynamic and diverse foray into the back alleys of the American DIY underground. Bright guitars swirl over looping, groovy post-punk bass lines and drums that border on robotic precision. While the initial rawness of the band’s early output remains, the songwriting has gracefully evolved. Recorded over a few days in an ice-box practice space, Light Up Gold is equally indebted to The Modern Lovers, the Fall and The Feelies as well as a slew of contemporaries like Tyvek and Eddy Current Suppression Ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Parquet Courts have produced a debut that’s both instantly addictive and lastingly rewarding” – The Guardian (*****)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Goddamn great… a powerful, personality-heavy record” – NME (9\/10)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nRough Trade Records\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternative  LP\u003cbr\u003e\nMaster Of My Craft\u003cbr\u003e\nBorrowed Time\u003cbr\u003e\nDonuts Only\u003cbr\u003e\nYr No Stoner\u003cbr\u003e\nYonder Is Closer To The Heart\u003cbr\u003e\nCareers In Combat\u003cbr\u003e\nLight Up Gold Pt.1\u003cbr\u003e\nLight Up Gold Pt.2\u003cbr\u003e\nN.
