PEOPLES TEMPLE
BRAND NEW THING | TWICE BURNED (TROUBLE IN MIND)
- LIMITED TO 500 ON RANDOMLY COLORED VINYL. Longtime fans should hear something different on the A Side; the haunting baroque melodies & aching chords of "Brand New Thing" ooze with a romantic yearning and earnest naivete of the best of The Brill Building.
Echoes of The Clique & Electric Prunes come to mind. "Twice Burned" crackles forth from the B Side in a haze of reverb & left-handed cigarette smoke.
It's snakey, Eastern rhythms are glued together with the percussive attitude of The Chocolate Watchband & the musical mysticism of Bobby Beausoleil.
Careful you don't singe your fingers removing this one from the turntable!
