Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre.

If you get past the name (which combines a horrific mass suicide/murder with a member of the Rolling Stones), you’ll find an ever-evolving band led by Anton Newcombe, who helped establish the alternative sound in the early 1990s. On the band’s 16th album, Don’t Get Lost, Newcombe has a new list of collaborators as he explores quiet psychedelic themes, from classic rock to shoegaze. The single “Dropping Bombs on the Sun (UFO Paycheck)” has droning synths and a vocal that lulls you into a rock and roll trance. With Chatham Rise.
