The Brian Jonestown Massacre, more affectionatly known as BJM, have released their new album Aufheben today. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to listen to the album in its entireity. Aufheben, the German word for “preserve” or “abolish,” was recorded in Berlin at frontman Anton Newcombe’s studio and the East German Radio Station “Studio East.” Discussing how he would describe the sound of ‘Aufheben’, Newcombe stated: “I feel like I am on the crossroads of creating an epic soundtrack for film, so in a word, [Aufheben sounds] cinematic.”

Aufheben provides the listener with a retro, middle-eastern, psychedelic shoegazing, dream-pop, 60′s rock experience. If you like The Black Angels, you’ll like BJM (it’s just a bit more mellow). Aufheben is BJM’s 13th studio release and a follow-up to 2010′s Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?. The album features the return of original band mate, Matt Hollywood, along with contributions from Will Carruthers [Spacemen 3, Spritualized], Constatine Karlis [Dimmer] and Thibault Pesenti [Rockcandys].
