Parquet Courts' A. Savage announces new solo album, shares "Elvis in the Army"

Parquet CourtsA. Savage has announced a new solo album, Several Songs About Fire, which will be out October 6 via Rough Trade. The record was made in Bristol, England with producer John Parish, and it features contributions from Jack Cooper (Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting) and Cate Le Bon, along with members of Kamikaze Palm Tree and caroline.

The album includes the recently released “Thanksgiving Prayer,” and the new single is “Elvis in the Army.” “We often describe ourselves in geographic terms. American, New Yorker — two terms that I’ve used to identify myself that have to do with being from or of a certain place,” says Savage. “So ‘Elvis in the Army’ is a bit of an inventory of those labels. They have less to do with geography than we realize. Really we’re just talking about ourselves, then framing certain characteristics geographically. No matter where I live I’ll have an American psyche until the day I die, for better or for worse. I’ll always be of America. And I can’t imagine a time where New York doesn’t feel like home. But despite that, I’d rather not be associated with a place, at least for now.”

You can watch the “Elvis in the Army” video, directed by Emile Moutaud, below.

A. Savage will be on tour this fall, including a NYC show at Bowery Ballroom on November 11 with Sluice, and he’s just added West Coast dates in April 2024. Check out his full itinerary below.
