Take It From the Man!

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A gritty collision of 1960s British Invasion swagger and 1990s shoegaze feedback. Hypnotic, tambourine-heavy, and unapologetically cool.

Find on Amazon

It's like the 1965 Rolling Stones got lost in a 1990s pedal shop and decided to start a cult.

A swaggering, drug-hazy tribute to the 1960s that feels both worshipful and dangerously modern.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, repetitive groove of Straight Up and Down that feels like it could spiral on forever.
The sudden burst of feedback and harmonica that cuts through the mid-century r&b of Vacuum Boots.
The way the eleven-minute closing version of the title track dissolves into a chaotic, psychedelic wash of noise.
