Our Take

Brion Gysin's latest release, "Junkin British English," is a wild and wacky ride through the mind of a musical madman. With a mix of experimental sounds and off-kilter lyrics, Gysin takes listeners on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

From the opening track, "Tea Time with the Queen," it's clear that Gysin is not afraid to push the boundaries of conventional music. The song's jangly guitars and quirky vocal delivery set the tone for the rest of the album, which only gets weirder from there.

Tracks like "Bangers and Mash" and "Fish and Chips Blues" showcase Gysin's unique blend of British humor and avant-garde sensibilities. The lyrics are absurd and nonsensical, but somehow they all come together to create a strangely cohesive listening experience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Punk Rock Pigeon," a frenetic ode to the gritty underground music scene. Gysin's manic energy is infectious, and the song is sure to get even the most stoic listener tapping their feet.

Overall, "Junkin British English" is a delightfully bizarre album that will leave you scratching your head and tapping your toes in equal measure. It may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take a chance on something a bit out of the ordinary, Brion Gysin delivers in spades.

About the artist

Brion Gysin

Brion Gysin is the ultimate enigma of the music world, a polymath whose creative genius knows no bounds. Hailing from the eclectic streets of Tangier, this avant-garde artist has been pushing boundaries and bending genres since before it was even cool. With a penchant for blending spoken word poetry, experimental soundscapes, and mind-altering visuals, Gysin's work is a whirlwind of sonic exploration and artistic expression. His ability to transcend the traditional confines of music leaves listeners both mesmerised and utterly baffled – a mind-bending experience that is not to be missed. Known for his wild performances that blur the lines between reality and fantasy, Gysin is a true master of the avant-garde. Whether he's reciting beat poetry over industrial beats or creating sonic collages from found sounds, his work is a testament to the power of creativity and the limitless possibilities of music. Influenced by the likes of William S. Burroughs and John Cage, Gysin's music is a heady brew of surrealism, existentialism, and sheer audacity. With a devil-may-care attitude and a razor-sharp wit, he is as unpredictable as he is uncompromising – a true maverick in a sea of mediocrity.

His music may not be for the faint of heart, but for those bold enough to take the plunge, the rewards are truly infinite.
