Black Pumas has announced their self-titled debut
album. The band is led by Grammy winning producer Adrian Quesada and
songwriter Eric Burton. Burton arrived in Austin 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. The
two collaborated on a new sound that transmutes soul into something
idiosyncratically modern - reminiscent of Ghostface Killah and Motown in
equal measure.
