Brian Jonestown Massacre - What You Isn't

Having impressed us over the past nearly three years with their excellent first releases and their explosive concerts, it is now time to get our hands on the first complete work of A Victim Of Society. And its name is ''Distractions''.

Vagelis Makris and Fotis Ntouskas, in other words the two members of the band, manage to fit in their music the best moments of the bands that made us love rock n 'roll and at the same time to create a completely personal sound. Dark, dirty, neurotic, yet addictive, ''Distractions'' steps on the best music of the past but still sounds as fresh and contemporary, as few of its genre. Haunting guitars and loops that produce waves of rhythmic noise accompany the spunky vocals to create the perfect soundtrack for a nightmarish post-urban landscape. Recorded at Sonic Playground Studios by Nikos Triantafyllou and mastered by Jamal Ruhe at West West Side Music Studio in New York, ''Distractions'' has all the makings to be a landmark album of the greek alternative scene.

''Distractions'' is out on vinyl including bonus cd and digital album from Inner Ear.

Αφού μας εντυπωσίασαν τα τελευταία τρία σχεδόν χρόνια με τις εξαιρετικές πρώτες τους κυκλοφορίες και τις εκρηκτικές  συναυλίες που τις συνόδευσαν, έφτασε επιτέλους η στιγμή να έχουμε στα χέρια μας την πρώτη ολοκληρωμένη δουλειά των A Victim Of Society. Και το όνομα αυτής, ''Distractions''.

 Ο Βαγγέλης Μακρής και ο Φώτης Ντούσκας, τα δύο μέλη δηλαδή της μπάντας, καταφέρνουν να χωρέσουν στην μουσική τους τις καλύτερες στιγμές από τα συγκροτήματα που μας έκαναν να αγαπήσουμε το rock ‘n' roll, δημιουργώντας τελικά έναν τελείως προσωπικό ήχο.  Σκοτεινό, βρώμικο, νευρωτικό και συνάμα εθιστικό, το ''Distractions''  ενώ πατάει πάνω στις καλύτερες στιγμές της μουσικής του παρελθόντος, ακούγεται και είναι τόσο φρέσκο και σημερινό, όσο λίγα πράγματα.  Κιθάρες που σε στοιχειώνουν αμέσως, λούπες που παράγουν κύματα ρυθμικού θορύβου και συνοδεύουν τα ψυχωμένα φωνητικά, δημιουργούν το ιδανικό soundtrack για ένα εφιαλτικό μετα-αστικό τοπίο.  Ηχογραφημένο στο στούντιο Sonic Playground από τον Νίκο Τριανταφύλλου και με το mastering να έχει γίνει από τον Jamal Ruhe στο West West Side Music Studio στη Νέα Υόρκη, το ''Distractions'' έχει όλα τα φόντα να αποτελέσει έναν δίσκο-σταθμό για την Ελληνική δισκογραφία.

Το ''Distractions'' κυκλοφορεί σε βινύλιο με bonus cd και digital album από την Inner Ear.


A Victim Of Society - Enough Said

Pj Harvey John Parish - Black Hearted Love

Available on clear vinyl limited to 2000 units which are numbered

This is a collaboration between Tess Parks & Anton Newcombe (Brian Jonestown Massacre) which happened early in 2014 & the summer of 2014 in Berlin . As everyone hopefully knows about Anton Newcombe’s history we have decided to tell you more about Tess Parks.

A native of Toronto, Tess Parks moved to London, England at the age of seventeen where she briefly studied photography before dropping out and deciding to focus on music. Tess managed to make an impression on industry legend Alan McGee, founder of Creation Records, albeit the timing of their meeting could hardly have been less ideal; McGee was no longer involved in music and Tess was due to move back to Toronto. After moving back to her hometown in 2012, Tess formed a band on the advice of Alan McGee and less than a year after their meeting, he returned to music with his new label, 359 Music. Tess became one of his first six signings and released her debut record Blood Hot in November 2013 to excellent reviews. One reviewer described her as “Patti Smith on Quaaludes”. Others have mentioned her "gauzy psychedelic sound” and "smouldering voice”. Alan McGee himself said: “She’s only 24 and is already an amazing songwriter... she just doesn’t quite know she is yet … her most beautiful quality is her lack of ego. Tess is an amazing lady”.

In February 2014, she began recording with Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman Anton Newcombe in Berlin and they completed their new record 'I Declare Nothing' in autumn 2014. The record is due out later this year..

The Devil's Shelter (Feat. Alex Maas)

It’s San Francisco in 1966 and we’re lying in the long grass overlooking the bay realising that life might never get better than this. Same year, different location. We’re walking down St. Mark’s Place in New York towards the Dom, where the Velvet Underground are performing this very evening. Post-punk London: pop possibilities, psychedelic outcomes, unsteady futures. Connecticut 2004, a collegiate idyll and meeting point for Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser whose primordial wigouts are released under the name MGMT.

Lysergic mgmt diethylamide: this music is for those who know their Orange Sunshine from their Windowpane. Drenched in pop as much as psychedelia, they don’t need a map and compass to find the tunes. MGMT formed at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and after some indie activity soon caught the attention of Columbia who have so far released the first two albums, the aptly-named Oracular Spectacular and Congratulations. There have been Grammy nominations (and even a Grammy win for Justice’s remix of ‘’Electric Feel’), though these are mere fripperies in the face of Owsley Stanley and his pals.

Although their sound has morphed considerably over the first two LPs, their attitude has not. In ‘Song For Dan Treacy’, they show their affection for a certain type of British songwriter (Treacy’s band TV Personalities are included here), while Congratulations’ producer Peter Kember is a former member of the Spacemen 3, the best psychedelic band ever to come from Rugby – who also figure on this very compilation with the delightful ‘Lord Can You Hear Me’.

They are firstly fans of other people’s records, those MGMT boys. You can tell by the impressive depth of their selections and by how sympathetic this music sounds when blended together. We can’t overlook the tremendous contributions of the English psych aristocracy hereabouts. There is the Droolian himself Julian Cope whose song, ‘Laughing Boy’, is taken from his finest hour Fried. Then there’s the unbearably cultish Felt, featuring the wonderful Lawrence Hayward, with ‘Red Indians’ and Vini Reilly (aka Durutti Column) with the slinky ‘For Belgian Friends’. If Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers and the Singing Policeman had been present, the eccentrics of Great Britain Society would have had a quorum.

But that is not all. Oh no. That is not all… There’s the other side of the pond, too. The Grace Slick-led Great Society’s ‘Love You Girl’ and Suicide’s Martin Rev who weighs in with the magnificently batty ‘Sparks’ from 2000’s Strangeworld. But then, just when you think you’ve get them all figured they go and throw rockabilly hero Charlie Feathers into the ring. To top it all, there’s also their reading of Bauhaus’ uncharacteristically beautiful ‘All We Ever Wanted Was Everything’ for our now traditional Late night Tales cover version. TKO MGMT.

Gently remove your I Was Lord Kitchener’s Valet army uniform. Take a sip of green tea, lie back on the chaise longue and wait for the magic carpet to arrive. Let’s take a trip.
