JOEL GION’S - APPLE BONKERS
August 18 (UK) / 19th (US)

After spending a long and strange career as the legendary “Tambourine Man” for the Brian Jonestown Massacre, tambourinist/percussionist Joel Gion has emerged with his debut LP “Apple Bonkers”, an armload of his own music done his own way.

“With all the BJM members now living  so spread out across the world, I found myself increasingly missing the album making process. This feeling of disconnect is what kick started me into exploring my own song writing process and turned out to be a hugely important piece of self discovery. No more time for my beloved laziness. So I made my own music with a with bunch of friends in the studio coming and going and having a great time creating. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by this album. “

As might be expected, there are plenty of classic 1960s sounds, but the sonic pallette spans every decade since, colored with timeless touchstones of Joel's record collection - shoegaze, post-punk, psychedelia, alt-country and mod/beat music, it's all there. 

Check out Joel’s video for the lead track, “YES” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iD_o9geDYA

Co-produced by current BJM members Collin Hegna and Rob Campanella, “Apple Bonkers” also features contributions by Jonestown members Daniel Allaire and Matt Hollywood, along with former BJM members Jeffrey Davies and Miranda Lee Richards.  Also along for the ride: Pete Holmstrom of The Dandy Warhols, Ryan Van Kriedt of  the The Asteroid #4/Dead Skeletons and Jason “Plucky” Anchondo of the Warlocks/ Spindrift.

Much more than getting by with a little help from his friends, “Apple Bonkers” sees Gion leading the trip to a psychedelic land of honest-to-goodness rock and roll.

About 'Horse' by Holy Motors

Holy Motors' new LP 'Horse,' which is due out on Wharf Cat on October 16th, finds the band acknowledging the Americana and rockabilly strands of their musical DNA without sacrificing any of the otherworldly mystique that keeps them from neatly conforming to the shoegaze and dreampop labels often applied to their music.  

From the album’s opening moments, songs like “Country Church,” with its major key and classic rhythm and blues guitarline, and “Midnight Cowboy,” which sounds like a lost Buddy Holly 45 played at 33 rpm, make it clear that Horse — even if it may not accomplish the impossible task of demystifying this band of ex-Soviet cowboys — will at least show you that there’s more to them than the near-impenetrable darkness of their work to date may suggest. Although tracks like “Trouble” and “Endless Night” gravitate toward the ethereal production and existential subject matter of prior releases, repeat listens reveal complex compositions and an empathy that is central to this eight-song album.  

As a whole, Horse stands as a warmer, more human counterpoint to 2018’s celestial Slow Sundown, and showcases Holy Motors as a hypnotic force that draws listeners in and leaves them wanting more. This effect, paired with their ability to write lyrics and music that resonate with a deeply relatable feeling of isolation, has resulted in an album built to connect with people from devoted shoegaze and western psychedelia fanatics to dreamer cowboys, driving through wide open country roads under the stars.

Holy Motors - Country Church (From the album 'Horse' out 10/16)

Lyrics: 
Running round New Orleans in the rain with a soup-ed up catholic boy who is ready for anything. It’s not like that though, much more tame, we liked the same girl anyway.
Who am I to follow when I don’t know the way to go.
Swigging whiskey from the bottle with a girl so pretty she could be a model in New York city on the underground. Felt like a movie, not like dad when he’s down.
Here we are at 4am in an uptown diner. Been drinking spirits behind the bar with some resting actors.
Smoked a spliff with no tobacco, I felt so ill I couldn’t move my head at all.

You can't miss it. First thing you see in Yukon, Oklahoma is the water tower that proudly reads "YUKON: HOME OF GARTH BROOKS." Danny grew up in this smallish town, cruising Garth Brooks Boulevard, aka, Main Street, USA. This song's about living in the shadow of greatness, transcending the small-town mindset, and the sensation of cruising the main drag and feeling mixed emotions of nostalgia, joy, ennui. Roll down the windows: here's "Garth," your sweetly melancholy homecoming late-summer jam.

Lyrics:
I find all my hair
Lost in the sheets
The sheets of my bed

I lost all my love
Lost down the drain
Along with my brain

I find all my hair
Lost in the sheets
The sheets of my bed

I lost all my love
Lost down the drain
Along with my brain

Why don’t you see
What I mean
About those people?

Why don’t you help
Find my way?
I’m lost in Sweden

Why, why?
I’m high

I find all my hair
Lost in the sheets
The sheets of my bed

I lost all my love
Lost down the drain
Along with my brain


Recorded & Mixed by The Lazy Eyes at Lindfield Studios
