Parquet Courts Announce New EP 'Monastic Living' on Rough Trade and Fall Tour

New York indie rockers Parquet Courts announced their move to Rough Trade from former label What's Your Rupture? yesterday (Aug. 4). Defined as "one of the most prolific rock bands of this generation" by outlets like Stereogum, the five-piece's label switch will undoubtedly prove to be monumental. Joining the ranks of pivotal acts like The Smiths, The Strokes and Arcade Fire, the Brooklyn based act also revealed details about their forthcoming 12" EP Monastic Living.

Slotted to drop Nov. 13, the band's follow-up release to 2014's Sunbathing Animal and Content Nausea (which was released under the moniker Parkay Quarts) will coincide with a fall tour which includes a substantial number of North American dates.

Currently available for pre-order via Rough Trade, Monastic Living, the EP's tracks have yet to be released. As fans count down the days until Parquet Courts' Rough Trade debut, the band is scheduled to embark on their European tour later this month with plans to return to the states a month shy of Monastic Living's release.

You can listen to the title track from their final LP with What's Your Rupture? below:
