Light Up Gold gets a fitting do-over here, with Parquet Courts' most treasured trophy piece built in the spirit of nostalgia when it was released back in 2013. Now presented on luminous vinyl, eight years on the work will still conjures a sense of pre-responsibility first year at university, skint but smiling because life, and the mid-30s paunch, hadn't got to us yet.

Pitchfork once described Parquet Courts as "slackers in an almost classical sense", and the phrase is so accurate. A swill of post punk, kebab stain of DIY indie, and plenty of affectation, the band's lackadaisical responses to pretty much any request imaginable are almost audible. Don't fight them, though - history keeps teaching us that in the end youth will always win out against age. As such the best advice is to jump in feet first, like the first house party of a new semester.
