Take It From the Man!

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A gritty collision of 1960s British Invasion swagger and 1990s shoegaze feedback. Hypnotic, tambourine-heavy, and unapologetically cool.

June 10, 1996 · A Records (4)

Find on Amazon

A swaggering, drug-hazy tribute to the 1960s that feels both worshipful and dangerously modern.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, repetitive groove of Straight Up and Down that feels like it could spiral on forever.
The sudden burst of feedback and harmonica that cuts through the mid-century r&b of Vacuum Boots.
The way the eleven-minute closing version of the title track dissolves into a chaotic, psychedelic wash of noise.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
