Parquet Courts have announced a new album, the followup to 2014′s Sunbathing Animal and last year’s Monastic Living EP. Human Performance is out April 8 on Rough Trade. Below, watch the bizarre, Johann Rashid-directed video for “Dust,” which stars a frustrated desk-worker haunted by a translucent dust monster. Scroll down for the cover art, tracklist, and an expanded set of tour dates. 

Earlier this week, the band performed “Dust” and “Outside” on WFUV.
