A. Savage is a painter & the frontman of Parquet Courts, a rock band that splashed onto the scene back in 2012 with their limited cassette-only debut album, American Specialties, and then proceeded to drop a handful of contemporary rock gems such as Light Up Gold, Human Performance, and Wide Awake! And back in 2017 he dropped Thawing Dawn, a solo record that I consider to be very underrated & I encourage everyone to check it out. Parquet Courts have a new album coming out this Friday (!) titled “Sympathy For Life” and have released three killer singles ahead of its release. If you’re in Brooklyn you should totally snag some tickets to their album release show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. A. Savage has great taste and lucky for us, he’s here to tell us what he’s been into.

I guess you could say I’m a pretty avid backpacker; I enjoy the autonomy of carrying your bed, kitchen and house on your back, while navigating the unpredictability of nature. For this reason I make routine sojourns to Harriman State Park. The park is both approximate to the city, and also very remote feeling once you are inside of it. No car? No problem. Just take NJ Transit from Penn Station up to the Tuxedo, NY stop. There are multiples trailheads just near the station. About 40 miles of the Appalachian Trail pass through the park, which boasts the trail-famous Lemon Squeezer obstacle. It also is a great place for climbing, with the Claudius Smith’s Den being the best known locale for rock-heads. Harriman is a labyrinthine network of trails of varying difficulties. It’s probably the only place where you can get mauled by a black bear while looking at the Empire State Building. Actually I have had multiple bear encounters there that were totally were drama free. Great for leaf peeping as well!
