https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbFp1Q_Z8mM&feature=youtu.be After dropping the rigid, rollicking title track from their sophomore album Sunbathing Animal last month; Parquet Courts are now offering a second glimpse of the project via the considerably wilder “Black and White.” The song features the band’
