Described in 2021 by the New York Times as “a restless, prolific artist in almost every conceivable genre,” writer-dancer-choreographer Brontez Purnell has returned to our favorite of the arts with a new entry in the eighth reincarnation of the Sub Pop Singles Club. Originally titled “100 Boyfriends” and written before Purnell’s book of the same name, “Jaboukie” is a stop-and-go garage glam punk ditty that worms its way into your neurons from the start. On the flip side is a heavy duty cover of Nirvana’s “Aneurysm,” a fitting choice given that the Seattle legend’s cover of “Love Buzz” was the first entry in the original Sub Pop Singles Club in 1988.
