Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe speaking at the end of 2013.
-
“One of these days, you see it’s probably not going to happen by this next record, but maybe the one after that … I’m going to make a record that sounds fantastic. That really sounds fantastic...
It’s about being in the digital realm. When we’re in the studio, the stuff sounds way better. When we send off the WAV files to the record plant, it sounds one third better quality. And the whole industry now is just based on fudging that sound, compressing it, tweaking it in a certain way for earbuds and all that crap. But one thing I’ve never done, because I’ve always dealt with conceptual art, is finished all the words. And I’ve never made things just immaculate to a level where I’m totally happy with it.”
FASTER LOUDER
Well fare enough he's speaking plainly and that can't be faulted, but it just might be a pretty cute way of deflecting too much expectation from the new album due this year.
If so that's failed, this track is a preview from the album and it's peaked interest anyway. It was also used as a split single with their support band on the Australian tour at the end of last year. That piece of vinyl 45 will be already have reached collectors sticky fingers by now.
Most surprising of all though.. he's gone and written a blues. It's good as well.
