The Brian Jonestown Massacre will be releasing a new record on the 7th May, entitled, Aufheben.

Aufheben (a German word for ‘abolish’ or ‘preserve’) brings the traditional Brian Jonestown Massacre sound mixed with eastern influences, up to date with the benefit of all the additional weirdness that has been discovered in the past 40 years.

The record was recorded in Berlin in Newcombe’s studio & the infamous East German Radio Station “Studio East”. The album features Matt Hollywood an original member of the band, together with Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3, Spritualized), Constatine Karlis (Dimmer), and Thibault Pesenti (Rockcandys). Eliza Karmasalo provides additional vocals in Finnish.
