Andrew Savage, the creative mastermind behind Parquet Courts, has released a new song under the moniker Iconic Fugues.

Now based in Marseille, France, he's busy zinemaking, painting, and basking in the city's leisurely pace. He recently assured Shaad Magazine that Parquet Courts is "not active at the moment, but still a band."

According to a statement from Savage, “2025 Dream/2025 Blues” is “about a guy who wakes up from a dream only to be confronted with a series of increasingly consequential, harsh realities.” Despite that dire synopsis, he doesn’t see the song as a total bummer. “As I write this all out it sounds bleak, but I don’t find it to be a bleak song. I think it’s just amazing the way a fun guitar solo can draw a bit of sun out from behind the clouds.”
