Parquet Courts have a new video out today for the single “Human Performance,” the title track off their third album that dropped back in April on Rough Trade Records. Conceived, directed and puppeteered by English visual artist Phil Collins, the video features “Parquet Courts as puppets, puppet violence, puppet sex, puppet/human relations, perhaps puppet love?” Watch and find out, you sick fucks. And catch them on tour in August. –Maya Eslami
