One of my favorite bands for years is The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I know, you either love them or hate them. Their latest LP is Don't Get Lost, a departure which reminds me of Flamming Lips The Terror... Anyway, cool surf guitar influences on several of these psychedelic tunes, including this tune called Melodys Actual Echo Chamber, which has Link Wray all over it. The album version is better. If you like psychedelic, you may like this. Seeing them in Orlando in May.

Thanks for posting this! I'm a huge BJM fan.
I posted something similar with their last album Third World Pyramid. They had a surfy song on that one too.

Nice surf/drone vibe. Well done Josheboy. I can feel the gentle undertow pulling me down to oblivion.

The guitar is pretty dank. Whatever they are using for a drum track kinda ruins it for me. Got no soul.

This album went really electronic. I actually didn't buy this one (I usually buy them all immediately upon release). I did dig the guitar work in this song though. I wish he'd keep the guitar and go back to real instrumentation. Lets hope this album is a one-off.

I'm a fan. I really never listened to BJM and even considered a surfy influence wrt the guitar work, but it's totally evident in the posted example. Thanks for the new lease.
