Post-punk foursome Parquet Courts just announced their recent signing to Rough Trade records and the guys compounded that bit of news with fresh details about Monastic Living—an upcoming EP that has some pretty great artwork (and, hopefully, will have some solid music on there as well). You can preorder the EP here ahead of its November release.

They band has also announced a string of live dates to close out the year. Check them out below, along with the Monastic Living EP artwork.
