Open Minds Now Close is the second of 3 singles from the forthcoming album 'Don't Get Lost' released in February 2017. The first track Open Minds Now Close is on the album and features Dan Alliare on drums.

The 2nd track Melody's Actual Echo Chamber features Ryan Van Kriedt & Dan Allaire this version of this mix is available on this single only & it is pitchshifting mind bending messy .

The third track is a Swedish version of Open Minds Now Close called Oppna sinnen stängs nu featuring Jocke from Les Big Byrd on vocals which is also not available on the album.

These tracks give an idea of the changing rhythms of The Brian Jonestown Massacre for the new album. Heavy hypnotic beating drums , with very odd twists and pitchshifting at the extreme . The A side play at 45rpm & the B side plays at 33rpm .
