You must have heard of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, that twisted psychedelic pop group that world cruelly continues to shun? Well here is one of their former guitarists and his band the Lovetones. The Lovetones have been about since the early noughties and ‘Journeyman’ is the lead single from their 4th album ‘Dimensions’. It’s a jangling delight with chords set to Byrdsian like templates (with a retro heel turned in the direction of the La’s). Matthew J Tow’s vocals are no slouches either providing an able foil for the chime filled instrumentation. This is big, bold and only slightly obvious which means it should be consumed wherever good music is appreciated. KD
