New Banger From Brontez Purnell Trio
Brontez Purnell is a guy who is hard to pin down artistically as he traverses all types of musical genres along with both dancing and writing. His latest comes by way of his trio of sorts featuring this new single “If You Can’t Help Me” which takes an old gospel standard and gives it a garage pop twist. The bass on this one is a particular stand out with some heavy distortion and an almost nasty vibe to it ala TV on the Radio. I am sure you will dig it below.
This track is a B-side to a new single release featuring “Forgive Me, Phillip” on the flip.
I really thought we knocked it out of the park last week, covering 25 different tunes. But, it looks like we decided to one-up ourselves and post 26 for this week’s Last Week’s Jams collection. We got some of our favorite labels and bands putting out fresh new stuff, like new Tony Jay on Slumberland and new Onyon on Trouble in Mind. Plus, our friends at Keeled Scales are putting out a new LP with one of my favorite Texas songwriters, Will Johnson. All that and we haven’t even talked about how great that new Smashing Times single is. As much as it can be a challenge to cover it all, feel like we did our damndest to bring you some of the more deserving hits you might not find where the cool kids hang out.
Fresh on the heels of the excellent Jaboukie 7″,
