Parquet Courts formed in New York in 2010, although members Andrew and Max Savage are from Denton, Texas , Austin Brown from Beaumont, Texas, and Sean Yeaton from Boston . Andrew Savage previously played in the indie bands Teenage Cool Kids and Fergus & Geronimo. In 2011 Parquet Courts released their debut album American Specialties exclusively on compact cassette , followed by a long-playing record a year later . The follow-up Light Up Gold (2012) was released on the indie label Dull Tools and became a critical hit. With the third album Sunbathing Animal , the band was able to place in the album charts for the first time in 2014. Five months later, the next album, Content Nausea , followed, which was released under the alias Parkay Quarts, as it was mostly recorded by Andrew Savage and Brown and the other members Yeaton and Max Savage were unable to do so for private reasons. Parquet Courts received a Grammy nomination in the Best Recording Package category for the 2016 album Human Performance . In 2017 they worked with the Italian composer Daniele Luppi for the album Milano . Her sixth studio album Wide Awake was released in May 2018 ! which was produced by Danger Mouse .
