Parquet Release “Mud” EP; Watch The Video For “Brute”

“Mud” is the new EP from Parquet, a French Avant Rock band based in Lyon featuring Seb Brun (composition, drums & electronics), Nicolas Cueille (guitar), Guillaume Magne (guitar), Jean-François Riffaud (bass & synth bass), Simon Henocq (electronics), Clément Édouard (electronics), and Julien Desprez (guitar). It is their first release since 2018, and it foreshadows the release of a phenomenal full-length album in the fall.

Composed of the tracks “Brute” and “Mud”, “the EP writing went through a long and hectic process. However, everything appeared to fit with the core idea which was defined by the following manifesto : take your time, don’t rush, learn to accept, let yourself be carried away by the desire to try and find a state.

The EP is being released [today] on vinyl and all digital platforms and it is accompanied by a stunning music video shot by director Maxime Séve. It features an empty urban space, the body of dancer Véronique Lemonnier and mud. 

By focusing on length and repetitions while ignoring aesthetics, the dancer demonstrates unwavering drive, outperforming herself in her movements and displaying silent power and tenacity.
