a レコード& CD

Review: Brian Jonestown Massacre's brand new album establishes a kind of sonic-Nietzschean theme from the outset. For while music's Eternal Return is debatable, the concept certainly holds weight for Anton Newcombe and co., whose controversial wiles and second-coming-of-Christ confidence have seen him lead the band to much stardom over the decades - it's almost as if this has happened before. With influences from space rock to shoegaze, the album deals specifically with themes of fatherhood and survival; grappling with the existential weight of parenthood, it is much, much sadder than their prior albums.
