Jan 18, 2013A like this album a lot. Reminds me of Kings Of Leon in their early days when they used to be good, can hear a bit of Pavement too. Very good debut album and hope to catch them live.

Feb 8, 2013This is the most exciting new band I've heard in years. The lyrics are as instantly relateable and as obscure as slanted and/or enchanted, the tempos are fierce, the beats relentless. Godspeed the future and the past all at once.

Feb 28, 2014If this album was a cocktail,it would taste like this:
It is like "Is this It" "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" and like some old dad-countryrock band mixed with a touch of chili powder. -

Feb 8, 2013This is no reinvention of the punk wheel but it does seem like a solid album from beginning to end. It`s catchy at times, repetitive at others and only time will tell if it has staying power.

May 23, 2018Really fun post punk garage rock band. I am sensing a lot of influences from the Modern Lovers, but they have referenced genres from rap to grindcore.

Jun 4, 2013This is an album with potential. What I like about it is that they don't sound like they're trying too hard, They've got a cool, laid-back, indie vibe about them. I expect good things from them in the future,

Feb 16, 2014Light Up Gold has its Clumsy moments, where perhaps the guitar solo's feel less as skilled, and the vocals get a little irritating, but aside from that, Light Up Gold not only has the occasional class song, but it sounds like a new heart and soul from a band that had an idea, and got through with it rather successfully.

May 30, 2013It's an album of brainy rock songs that state their claims then defiantly step out from beneath the ethereal haze.

Q MagazineMay 13, 2013Parquet Courts are a charmingly old-fashioned band, transmitting cryptic, collapsible songs to an anyone who can build a receiver from Guided By Voices-coloured vinyl and Pavement fanzines. [Jun 2013, p.104]

UncutApr 25, 2013Light Up Gold packs 15 songs in 33 minutes, and most are great. [Jun 2013, p.78]
