New video from Jon Spencer’s Heavy Trash: Gentle
Video: Heavy Trash – “(Sometimes You Gotta Be) Gentle”
This is more like it. That “doo wop” MP3 they gave away wasn’t really all that, but “Gentle” has everything we’ve always loved about Jon Spencer. Watch him and Matt Verta-Ray do their thang in this new video directed by Michael Lavine. On the road, Lambchop‘s Sam Baker plays drums, but Spencer himself does his best Meg White impression in the video. Evolution is too slow! From Midnight Soul Serenade, out now on Fat Possum.

Heavy Trash – Gee, I Really Love You
MP3: Heavy Trash – “Gee, I Really Love You” from Midnight Soul Serenade, out October 27 on Fat Possum.
While Jon Spencer‘s latest band hasn’t received as much press as his Blues Explosion, they’re still making good music. Their previous album, 2007’s Going Way Out with Heavy Trash, was one of my favorites of the year. Leaving behind most of the blues and punk pastiche, Heavy Trash looks to rockabilly and other early forms of rock and roll for inspiration. I haven’t heard the new album, but this single sounds a lot cornier than their prior stuff. Hoping the rest of the album is better.
