Parquet Courts’ ace new album ‘Human Performance’ is out on Friday (April 8th), so it’s a pretty opportune time for them to share the title track taken from it.
In an interview with NPR.com, frontman Andrew Savage explains: “Ultimately, the song is about living in the company of one’s own shame. Perhaps it was the years spent as an altar boy that gave me an inclination toward repentance and atonement. I’ve never been a believer, but I can understand the appeal of faith, especially when it includes the promise of unconditional love and forgiveness. “Human Performance” is about the absence of that faith, and how haunting it is.”
