Sophomore album from Black Pumas – following up the giant success of their self-titled debut in 2019 with “Colors” which was a bit inescapable (and brilliant).

Doesn’t get as much attention as the debut – the dreaded sophomore slump – but I think it is every bit as good an album.

My copy, via Barnes & Noble, is a limited edition pressing on red & gold split vinyl, with an included postcard. (It can be surprising what you can find in Barnes & Noble, which I don’t normally think of as a record store but gets some good pressings).
