Parquet Courts have shared a music video for their new song “Black Widow Spider.” It’s the latest single from their forthcoming album Sympathy for Life. They’ve also extended their tour into 2022 with additional dates in North America and Europe. Check out the video for “Black Widow Spider” and the full list of tour dates below.
The video for “Black Widow Spier” was directed and animated by Shayne Ehman. Of the track, A Savage said in a statement:
I told [producer] Rodaidh McDonald that I wanted to find a sound that was equal parts Can, Canned Heat and This Heat. He was really into that and probably took some glee in having such a bizarre challenge.
Earlier this year, Parquet Courts reissued their 2011 debut album American Specialties. Read Pitchfork’s interview “Parquet Courts Worship Prince’s Magic and Fred Durst’s Shamelessness.”
