It's one 45 second song and then 8 instrumental tracks of droning noise and repeating loops with no melody, vocals, or conventional build.  You might like it if you're into noise or experimental music but it was pretty crappy that this was advertised as a PC EP with no mention of the drastic genre change or even the all instrumental nature of it.

In none of the promotional material does it mention that this is an experimental instrumental EP.  There is also nowhere to preview the music or hear any of the songs, despite it being released today.

 

Here are two very different reviews, one glowing and one poor.

It's been a long time since I blindly bought an LP from a band I love and excitedly unwrapped it and let my turntable be the first place I listened to it, so this was a huge bummer and why I care enough to whine about it on the internet.  I also figure other people who are big PC fans would want at least a heads up.  If you like experimental music, you might really like this but, if you want a Parquet Courts EP, beg your friend to let you hear their digital download before you drop money on this.
