THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE has been somewhat of a musical commune for many respected musicians over the years, a band from the 1990’s that has spurned other great bands ever since. Indeed, this is a band that has witnessed many incarnations, since its inception in San Francisco in 1995. The one thing that has always remained consistent for this psychedelic collective is front man Mr. Anton Alfred Newcombe – a man and artist many are eager to dismiss as obnoxious and unworthy of the attention he receives. Others however, deem him simply as vulnerable in this world he roams and hugely misunderstood whilst doing so. ‘Who Killed Sergeant Pepper?’ finds Newcombe working with musicans of the likes of Will Carruthers (ex-Spacemen 3 & Spiritualized), Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir (who recorded vocals on the last BJM album), and Felix from the Russian band Amazing Electronic Talking Cave. This is the band’s most multi-cultured release to date, while obviously keeping the band’s trademark style throughout the album. 13 tracks, ranging from ambient bhangra beats to rock to shoegazing to gypsy influences of Eastern Europe music, and then back again to the subliminal – all twinged with the psychedelia of the band.
