Bravery, Repetition, and Noise is the sound of a band trading their usual chaotic, drug-induced sprawl for a more focused, nocturnal elegance.
It feels like a bridge between the sun-drenched psychedelia of the 1960s and the rain-slicked post-punk of the 1980s. The guitars chime with a Byrds-like clarity, but they are anchored by basslines that feel heavy, dark, and unmistakably modern. It is an album that exists in the shadows of a city, capturing a sense of cool detachment that is simultaneously deeply vulnerable.
How does Bravery, Repetition, and Noise sound next to the rest of The Brian Jonestown Massacre's catalogue?
Melancholic saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.
