"Depending on how you look at it they’re either the Grandaddies of Psych, a bunch of pricks on mind-bending drugs, the stars of Dig!, or maybe you’ve never heard them before. Whatever, who cares. All you need to know is that they’re back, baby." – NOISEY Track Premiere (March 20)
“What You Isn’t” Q Magazine Track of The Day (March 24)
Brian Jonestown Massacre will release their 14th album, Revelation, on May 20, 2014through A Records (Redeye Distribution). Listen to “What You Isn’t” here:https://soundcloud.com/wastedyouthpr/brian-jonestown-massacre-what/s-qA0r2
Encompassing all the weirdness that has been discovered in the past 40 years, Revelationadvances the traditional Brian Jonestown Massacre sound of mixing eastern influences with western rock. Two-dozen band members later and numerous “ups and downs” (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.
Recorded from late 2012-2014, Revelation is the first album that was fully recorded and produced at Anton’s recording studio in Berlin, Germany. Original band member, Ricky Maymi plays guitar on this album plus features a vocal performance in Swedish byJoachim Alhund (Les Big Byrd/Teddybears) on “Vad Hände Med Dem?” Other special guests include: Constatine Karlis (Dimmer) on drums, Ryan Van Kriedt (Asteroid #4) on guitar, and Anton plays the rest.
Anton also releases music by other bands through his A Records including: Les Big Byrd: The Worshipped Cats (May 20), Blue Angel Lounge: A Sea Of Trees (May 20),The KVB: Out of Body (June 3) who were recently named one of Alternative Press’ 100 Bands You Need To Know This Year.
Brian Jonestown Massacre are confirmed to headline Austin Psych Fest and select live dates on the West Coast in May. The band will then begin a 45-date tour of mainland Europe including the band’s first ever dates in Warsaw, Prague and Athens: http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com/?news=euro-tour-2014
Anton explains why the album is named Revelation:
“The simple answer is I love the word. Most of the time I would classify my work "śruti," i.e. "what is heard" definition of the word “revelation.” But on this album and with these songs, there was nothing. No ideas and no guidance and I was still able to create the record for me. That was a revelation.”
