# A New Brian Jonestown Massacre Tune for Your Driving Playlist

Brian Jonestown Massacre is a beautiful anomaly. This odd little shoegaze neo-psychedelic outfit that emerged during the Nineties, since soaring and crashing, plunging into addiction, getting sober. Forty-some-odd members have joined and left. But dammit if the leader, mod-chic rock weirdo Anton Newcombe, isn’t a magnificent creature. This is a man who’s best known for the line: “You’ve broken my sitar, motherfucker!”

Dude’s based in Berlin now, and he’s been recording. Not sure what to title the resulting collection of tracks, Newcombe has opted for *Mini Album Thingy Wingy.* Seven songs. Due out Nov. 13 of this year. The latest single (“Get Some”) just popped up on Soundcloud. It’s like MC5 playing at half-speed, on peyote, with a slight gothic overcast. Good driving music, and a Wrath-of-Kahn-level earworm. [Give it a listen](<https://soundcloud.com/cargorecords/get-some?in=cargorecords/sets/the-brian-jonestown-massacre-2>).
