Free Music Review: A Great Drone Rock Album
Hit: 3 Stars
The best place to start if you are a newcomer to BJM music is the retrospective Tepid Peppermint Wonderland. This debut album as other reviewers have noted, is a product of the so-called "shoegaze" era, whereupon a bunch of mainly English bands made jumping around on stage very unfashionable. They also used lots of layered guitar sounds, ditsortion and feedback. I'm talking Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and the early Creation Records (i.e pre Teenage Fanclub) catalogue generally. BJM do this with aplomb, but you can sense the 60s nostalgia underneath and sometimes it brims forth in songs such as "That Girl Suicide" (the best song on the album in my opinion.) Shoegaze had given way to Britpop and Grunge when this came out, which might explain why the BJM extended their musical palette to include Dylanesque folk rock and West Coast psychedelia within a drone-rock framework... an excellent mix in my opinion.
There are enough good tunes on the album to make it worth buying but I personally like their music when they ditched being part of a trend and started approximating the music they love... all those great psychedelic bands from the west coast like Love and the Music Machine, the Seeds etc etc.
With all the years that have past since this was released I think its for fans of the band rather than newcomers, but like all of BJM stuff, it is worth listening to.
