Methodrone (CD Format)

Released in 1995, Methodrone marked the stunning debut album from The Brian Jonestown Massacre and laid the foundations for one of the most influential underground psychedelic rock bands of the modern era.

Written and led by Anton Newcombe, Methodrone blends swirling shoegaze textures, hypnotic drones, distorted guitars and hazy psychedelic atmospheres into a sound that feels both indebted to the past and entirely its own. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones, the album established the band's distinctive approach to neo-psychedelia and alternative rock.

Tracks such as Evergreen, Wisdom, Crushed and She Made Me showcase Newcombe's gift for combining immersive soundscapes with memorable melodies, while the album's dense layers of effects and feedback create a dreamlike listening experience that has only grown in reputation over the decades.

Widely regarded as a cult classic and a cornerstone of 1990s psychedelic rock, Methodrone remains an essential release for fans of shoegaze, garage rock and modern psychedelia.

This reissue brings the landmark debut back to CD, offering listeners the opportunity to revisit the album that launched The Brian Jonestown Massacre's remarkable and enduring career.
