Black Pumas (2 LP/7″ Single Deluxe Edition)

Description

Deluxe Edition Colored Vinyl 2LP+7″-Set with Original Album Plus 11 Bonus Tracks including 3 New Songs, 4 Covers and Unreleased Live Material!

Black Pumasis led by the creative partnership between Grammy Award-winning guitarist/producerAdrian Quesadaand songwriterEric Burton. The latter is a relative newcomer who arrived in Austin in 2015 after busking his way across the country from Los Angeles, while Quesada has a storied reputation for playing in bands like Grupo Fantasma and Brownout. After the two connected via friends in the Austin scene, they began to collaborate on a new sound that transmutes soul into something idiosyncratically modern.

Reminiscent of Ghostface Killah and Motown in equal measure, this original sound ensured thatBlack Pumas’weekly residency at C-Boys quickly became “the hottest party in town” (Austin-American Statesman). Produced by Quesada in his home studio and colored by Burton’s dark imagery and haunting vocals, their Grammy-nominated eponymous 2019 debut is equally as indebted to East Coast hip-hop as it is to classic funk and soul, resulting in a project that is of the moment rather than retro. From the roiling, solar eclipse-inspired noir of “Black Moon Rising” to the ponderous yet epic “Oct 33,” it’s a stunner.

ThisDeluxe Editionreissueof their debut features theoriginal album plus eleven bonus tracks, three new original songs and four covers, plus unreleased live material. Thecolored vinyl 2LP-setcomes complete with abonus 7″ single,new artwork and unpublished studio and live photographs.
