Parquet Courts have delivered new cut "Homo Sapien" as the third outing from their upcoming album Sympathy For Life.

The new song, accompanied by a Marisa Gesualdi-directed video, will feature on the band's Sympathy For Life album with previous singles "Black Widow Spider" and "Walking At A Downtown Pace".

Sympathy For Life, which was originally announced on Dr Rob's Remedy radio show in June, will follow Parquet Courts' 2018 album Wide Awake!, and was created from improvised jams.

The new album is inspired by New York clubs, Primal Scream and Pink Floyd, and features production from Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, Hot Chip, David Byrne) and John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Dry Cleaning).

"Homo Sapien" is out now. Parquet Courts' Sympathy For Life album will arrive Friday (22 October) via Rough Trade Records, and is available to pre-order now. They're due to play London's O2 Academy Brixton on 9 June 2022. Find out more.
