Parquet Courts to reissue "lost" debut album with new zine

01 June 2021, 16:27 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Parquet Courts will reissue their 2011 debut album American Specialties this summer, which will arrive with a new zine designed by the band’s Andrew Savage.

The band's hard-to-find debut album American Specialties was originally released in 2011 as a limited edition casette, and on vinyl in 2012, but this summer the album will get a reissue, which according to Rough Trade's Instagram post, is "mastered for the first time by Total Control’s Mikey Young."

Parquet Courts' American Specialties reissue will also include a new zine designed by the band's own Andrew Savage, and "expanded" linear notes from bassist Sean Yeaton.
