BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE - s/t LP
$35.95
180 gram vinyl.
Where previous albums have tended to be more cosmic and outward-looking, this seems like a much more introspective work. Perhaps this is Newcombe mediating more on growing older, the titles ‘Drained’, ‘We Never Had a Chance’, ‘Too Sad To Tell You’, would suggest so. Although his well-publicised battles with drink and drug habits are well behind him, he seems to be reflecting on the younger Newcombe we all saw on that fabulous, life-affirming documentary DIG!, full of piss and vinegar and completely uncompromising.
