(November 2021) Episode 368 is THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE. It’s impossible to summarize the ever-evolving sound of Anton Newcombe’s ever-evolving project. As the name suggests, at its heart it pays homage to the departed Rolling Stones’ innovator, and much of the music (especially the guitar tone) seems an attempt to pick up where he left off. Lots of neo-psychedelia and shoegazer/slacker rock recorded in undisciplined arrangements, but also experimental, pseudo-soundtrack and other hard-to-characterize stuff.
Favorite album: …And This Is Our Music
Favorite song: Sailor
Compared to expectations: ↓
Recommendation: not for everyone but yes to those who like artists who don’t give a f**k what anyone else thinks. I suggest starting with “Take It From the Man!”
