How singular that PR Newman doesn't stand for the name of the artist, nor for “Public Relations”, but for “Punk-rock Randy Newman”. The nickname, earned a couple of years ago during his 4 years co-fronting for the band the Berkshire Hounds, is a testimony of Spencer Garland's influences. If the punk has grown quieter, the rock has grown and developed new dimensions. Garland released his new album Turn Out locally in Austin, Texas last winter before signing a deal with Germany's Devil Duck Records, who just opened an outpost there. They'll issue the album internationally on July 20th. Turn Out is chock-full of groovy, soul-infused power pop with raw edges, juxtaposed with sophisticated arrangements and Beatles-y orchestration. Austin's powerhouse music site Do512 premiered the video for his first single “But No”, calling it “...frantic, whistle-filled...Like the song itself, the video is joyously frenetic and instantly memorable.”
