Though our Best Albums of 2013 list is filling up, Parquet Courts’ meaty, brainy and bouncy debut album Light Up Gold is assured a golden spot.  The band confirmed their worth when they lit up the stage when we caught them in LA in June.  On October 8th, the band will release their new EP entitled Tally All the Things That You Broke. The EP’s lead track is You’ve Got Me Wonderin’ Now, and you can listen to it below.  We again love the band’s lyrics.  Listen to the song and check out the song’s lyrics and EP song list below.

“Cavity click keeps the rhythm, keeps it movin’. Any day it’s gonna crack. Popcorn kernel, olive pit, at any moment smashed to bits (yeah). Toothache’s better than heartache baby, I’ve figured that much out. And I thought I knew a thing or two about the blues but you’ve got me wonderin’ now.

Dog-eyed kindess (naive and trusting) fans the purest flame of morning fire. But once it fizzles out into charred, formless evening, how do you ignite without turning to ash (yeah). Seasick’s better than heartsick, baby. I know that much by now. And I thought I knew nausea from sea to cars but you’ve got me wonderin’ now.

Forced into morning, tempted into night. Tally all the things that you broke. Bending her branches. Snapping, sapping and writhing. For me alone. Yeah, I guess sunburn’s better than heartburn (barely). Guess I never figured that out. And I thought I knew a thing or two about the blues but you’ve got me wonderin’ now.”
