The Brian Jonestown Massacre formed in San Francisco in the early 90’s when I was still at school; yes it has been that long and it’s crazy to think that I’ve yet to be familiar with all of their music…
With seventeen albums, thirteen EP’s and sixteen singles under their belt I’ve a lot of catching up to do, but their aptly titled 2014 Revelation album became the perfect starting point for me today after I heard Food For Clouds and fell for it instantly.
Revelation was recorded between late 2012 and early 2014 and was the first album that The Brian Jonestown Massacre fully laid-down and produced at front man Anton Newcombe’s recording studio in Berlin. Featured track Food For Clouds reminds me so much of The Cure, but this is Robert Smith if he’d made music in the 60’s! It’s a superb track with warm undertones and dreamy meanderings and I just so happen to be loving this a lot.. Listen above.
