Parquet Courts Share 'Sympathy For Life' Music Videos Ahead Of Visualizer Premiere [Watch]

On Wednesday, Parquet Courts began dropping breadcrumbs in the form of Sympathy For Life music videos ahead of the premiere of a full-length visualizer for the band’s new album. Sympathy For Life, Visualized premieres on December 19th at 12 p.m. ET on the band’s YouTube channel.

Both “Marathon of Anger” and “Just Shadows”, similar to the previously-released video for “Walking At A Downtown Pace“, cast the band’s hometown of New York City as the main character. Though largely constructed during the pandemic, Sympathy For Life exists as an ode to the endless possibilities found in The City That Never Sleeps. As COVID ravaged nightlife in the city as well as the rest of the world, the party-tinged ambiance of Parquet Courts’ new album was all the more needed when it arrived back in October.

Leading up to the YouTube premiere of Sympathy For Life, Visualized, Parquet Courts will premiere a new music video each weekday. Immediately prior to the visualizer premiere, fans can tune into a live Q&A session with bassist Sean Yeaton at 11:40 a.m. ET. Sympathy For Life, Visualized debuted as a pay-per-view event two days before the album’s release and features guest appearances from NBA Hall of Famer and legendary Grateful Dead fan Bill Walton and comedian Joe Pera.

Watch the new music videos for “Marathon of Anger” and “Just Shadows” and check the Parquet Courts YouTube channel every weekday for new videos leading up to the Sympathy For Life, Visualized premiere on December 19th at 12 p.m. ET. Next year will see Parquet Courts tour in support of Sympathy For Life across the United States and Europe. For tickets and a full list of tour dates click here.
