If Revelation marked a new chapter in the career of Anton Newcombe and a creative renewal of the Brian Jonestown Massacreâs sound, then 2016âs Third World Pyramid shows the band locking further into their new-found groove, eschewing pop sensibilities in favour of deeper explorations of the various leftfield influences they've combined to weave their rich psychedelic tapestry.
The centrepiece of the album (or the tip of the pyramid, if you like) is the sprawling Assignment Song: a weary shimmering epic that layers countless guitars, cosmic synth sound effects, woodwind instruments and gospel-like vocals.
Itâs the kind of track that opens in unassuming fashion and once youâre in it, itâs hard to orientate yourself. The layers build up subtly and rather than going for the cliched crescendo, the track gradually disassembles itself as elegantly as it began.
