Considering what Anton Newcombe has been through, it’s good to see he hasn’t lost his twisted sense of humour, if that’s what you call kicking off what’s meant to be a Brian Jonestown Massacre comeback album with a track titled Bring Me The Head Of Paul McCartney On Heather Mills’ Wooden Peg (Bomb The White House). Unfortunately, the distorto psych drone doesn’t live up to its promising title.
In fact, everything on My Bloody Underground suffers from Newcombe’s chronic lack of focus, leaving the entire mess sounding like half-assed sonic sketches farted out in a friend’s basement over a woozy weekend. It’s doubtful whether Newcombe could do any worse if he set his mind to it.
