Brian Jonestown Massacre - Future Is Your Past LP (180g Clear Vinyl & Colored Pencils)

Anton Newcombe - frontman, songwriter, composer, studio owner, multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer, and force of nature - returns with the Brian Jonestown Massacre's twentieth full-length studio album Your Future Is Your Past on his own label A Recordings. Inspired by fatherhood and survival, the lead track "Fudge" was released in September 2022 and marked 30 years since the release of their first single "She Made Me / Evergreen", released in 1992.  Joining Newcombe in the studio for The Future Is Your Past were Hakon Adalsteinsson (guitar) and Uri Rennert (drums). 

"My son Wolfgang is very different to me, thank god, but we have so many things in common; dancing, making up songs, and vocalising strange combinations of words and ideas that make us laugh, or make sense to us in some meaningful way," Newcombe shares. "At a certain point, I started writing down these words and random ideas to use as titles. Quite a few of the songs from this album, and from ‘Fire Doesn't Grow On Trees' are in fact his ideas., including ‘Your Mind Is My Cafe', and ‘The Future Is Your Past'. Both of these albums, and many more songs were written in Berlin at my studio during the pandemic. A song a day, written, recorded and shared on YouTube as a work in progress. I felt like everything was so sad and hopeless, but I am not helpless. I decided to sing anthems to empower me, to remember to remember, to fight the beast until it dies, to give it everything you got because that's all there is to give... these were not songs for covid times, for these times of war and crisis after crisis, these are songs for all time."
