Parquet Courts unveil new single 'Black Widow Spider'

With their highly-anticipated new album now less than a month away, Parquet Courts have now unveiled the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Black Widow Spider' comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, and follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Walking At A Downtown Pace' in previewing their new LP 'Sympathy For Life', which is out on the 22nd October via Rough Trade Records.

Speaking about the new offering, frontman Andrew Savage said, "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."
