Our Take

Ah, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, a band name so pretentiously rock 'n' roll, you can practically smell the incense and leather jackets just by saying it. With their latest album, Tepid Peppermint Wonderland, they continue their quest to be the bad boys of psychedelic rock - and boy, do they succeed.

From the moment the opening track "All Around You (Intro)" kicks in, you're transported to a world where the 60s never ended and every song is a journey through a psychedelic dreamscape. Anton Newcombe's vocals are as nasal and cryptic as ever, weaving tales of love, loss, and probably a few drug-fueled ramblings along the way.

The production on this album is nothing short of stellar, with layers upon layers of fuzzy guitars, swirling organs, and ethereal backing vocals creating a wall of sound that is as intoxicating as it is mesmerizing. Tracks like "Who?", "Anemone", and "When Jokers Attack" showcase the band's ability to effortlessly blend catchy hooks with mind-bending instrumentals, keeping you hooked from start to finish.

Overall, Tepid Peppermint Wonderland is a trippy, transcendental experience that will leave you questioning reality and reaching for your nearest lava lamp. It may not be everyone's cup of psychedelic tea, but for fans of the genre, this album is a must-listen. So sit back, light up a joint, and let The Brian Jonestown Massacre take you on a mind-bending journey through the weird and wonderful world of Tepid Peppermint Wonderland.
