"Dark Entries and Papi Juice Records team up for No Jack Swing, the solo electronic debut of multi-hype man Brontez Purnell. The Southern-raised, Oakland-based musician and writer has centered his queerness and Blackness in projects Gravy Train and Younger Lovers as well as in his award-winning books
100 Boyfriends
and
Since I Laid My Burden Down
. On
No Jack Swing
, Purnell gives us a love letter to the most beloved (and secularized) of drum patterns -- that is, the electronic 808 'Amen Break'. Beginning recording in 2020, Purnell conceived of No Jack Swing as an audio zine of found sound materials: chain letters of instrumentals recorded in bedrooms, poems from boys in France, found gospel tapes from his childhood family Baptist Choir, and the sound of records skipping on his bedroom turntable.
No Jack Swing
is as much a homage to no wave and
New Jack Swing
as it is an answering to the gods of indie, electroclash, disco, and gospel. Amidst all this background noise, the unexpected occurs: all the niche pretensions collapse to a singularity -- the sound of high pop!
No Jack Swing
was produced by Nightfeelings. Each copy of includes a lyric sheet with a photo of Brontez."
