Listen – Parquet Courts’ ‘History Of The British Empire’ Playlist

New York’s stoner kings Parquet Courts aren’t just our Radar Band Of The Week, they’re also expert playlist compilers. We asked the band’s Andrew Savage to put together a mix of the band’s influences and favourites, and he came back with this selection of alternative intercontinental anthems. Here’s what he had to say: “Follow the path of British imperialism and its musical influence on its empire. Who did it the best? Who refined it? Decide for thyself.”
