Parquet Courts debut video for “Wide Awake!”

Parquet Courts debut video for title-track from 'Wide Awake'
Parquet Courts

Today, Parquet Courts have shared the title track off their forthcoming album, Wide Awake!. The video, directed by Brother Willis and filmed in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, features the band, clad in purple tuxedos, acting, well, wide awake. “I was very intrigued by the band’s idea to spend a few days filming all around New Orleans during Mardi Gras,” says Willis. “Probably should’ve thought twice about it, but we all came out the other side changed people and with a video (or more?) in our collective pocket.” “You’ll never guess what happens next….” adds Parquet Courts’ Austin Brown.
