Norman:
So after that last Brian Jonestown Massacre album here's a
brand new 5 track mini album thing on 12 Tonar which is an
Icelandic label. These tracks were all recorded during the
sessions of the last album... 4 are exclusive to this release.
There's a bunch of alternate versions of tracks from the last
album which are a bit useful. It took me a while to find this
on the site as Ant had called it Just Like Licking Jesus which
I think is a better title. On the credits he thanks Iceland,
Bjorks mum, black people and women.... go figure. More My
Bloody Valentine isms on here, more 60's pastiche and it all
fits in nicely with the last album. I believe the term is a
sister record. If you liked the album then you'll more than
likely be wanting this sucker.
What the label says:
A Split Label Release Between 12 Tonar (IcelandÆs Number One
Independent Label Originally & ôa recordsö Anton NewcombeÆs
own record label .
This mini album of 5 songs (4 never released before) runs over
27 minutes recorded in Reykjavik . The first track of this
release features the vocals of Icelandic artist & film maker
Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir . The Brian Jonestown Massacre are
undertaking an extensive world tour beginning in June 2008
(see below) .
The Brian Jonestown Massacre has been somewhat of a musical
commune for many respected musicians over the years, a band
from the 1990Æs that has spurned other great bands ever since.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Warlocks, The Silver Rockets,
The Black Angels, The Ravenettes, The Dilettantes (to name a
few) are all part of this musical family tree. Indeed, this is
a band that has witnessed many incarnations, since its
inception in San Francisco in 1995.
Two dozen band members later and numerous ôups and downsö
(some have been famously sensationalized in the media, the one
thing that has always remained consistent for this psychedelic
collective, is front man Mr. Anton Alfred Newcombe. A man and
artist many are eager to dismiss as obnoxious and unworthy of
the attention he receives. Others however, deem him simply as
vulnerable in this world he roams and hugely misunderstood
whilst doing so. Like many prolific and artistic ômadmenö
before his and our time, dare we sum all of the above and
categorize Newcombe as a one of the musical geniuses of our
time?
