Parquet Courts will reissue their 2011 debut album American Specialties this summer, which will arrive with a new zine designed by the band’s Andrew Savage.

The band's hard-to-find debut album American Specialties was originally released in 2011 as a limited edition casette, and on vinyl in 2012, but this summer the album will get a reissue, which according to Rough Trade's Instagram post, is "mastered for the first time by Total Control’s Mikey Young."

Parquet Courts' American Specialties reissue will also include a new zine designed by the band's own Andrew Savage, and "expanded" linear notes from bassist Sean Yeaton.

Last December the group hosted their On Time livestream show to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their first show, and shared a previously unreleased song called "Hey Bug".

Parquet Courts' American Specialties reissue will arrive 30 July and is limited to 1500 copies. Pre-order now at parquet-courts.com.
