Today, Pitchfork.tv presents a new episode of “Over/Under”, the interview series in which artists evaluate a series of random topics, declaring if they’re overrated or underrated. In this episode, Parquet Courts discuss Jar Jar Binks (“I would roll with Jar Jar in my squad”), laundry (“Overrated – just buy new clothes every time”), and Pokémon (“It just seems kind of fascist to me”). Watch below.
Parquet Courts have also announced more tour dates. Find them below. Also, the Monastic Living EP, originally scheduled for a November 13 release, has been pushed to November 27. (It will be on sale at their shows, though.)
