Parquet Courts/The Cowboy/Obnox

Fans of New York rock group Parquet Courts -- it's pronounced "Parkay Quartz," for those out of the loop -- won't have to wait too much longer for their next dose of post-punk goodness. In a recent interview with Vulture.com, frontman Andrew Savage revealed that the Brooklyn-based quartet is back in the studio to record its follow-up to 2016's Human Performance. In the meantime, Savage's first solo album, Thawing Dawn, which dropped last month, will likely tide listeners over. Although Savage's solo act is more subdued than distorted, those familiar with his lax crooning will find that it fits the album's slow and sweet style just as well as it does Parquet Courts' manic fuzz.
