Artist Biography
The ever-evolving musical vehicle for psych-rock musician Anton Newcombe, the Brian Jonestown Massacre has endured numerous phases and iterations since arriving in the mid-'90s, becoming something of an independent institution in the process. Early highlights like 1996's Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request showed Newcombe's propensity for melding late-'60s psychedelia with textured shoegaze, while later standouts like 2015's imaginary soundtrack Musique de Film Imaginé took a more cerebral and experimental approach. The BJM were also the focus of the controversial 2004 documentary film DIG!, which has gone on to become something of a cult classic. The band enjoyed a particularly fertile period of creativity throughout the 2010s and began the next decade with 2022's Fire Doesn't Grow on Trees, quickly followed by 2023's Your Future Is Your Past.
