The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anemone - CARDINAL SESSIONS

The Brian Jonestown Massacre formed in 1990 in San Francisco, becoming one of the most influential and controverse bands of the 90's. The bands' amazing story has been told in the wonderful documentary "Dig!" that still is one of the best movies about music. Anton Newcombe invited us to his new studio in Berlin to record the classic "Anemone".

__________________________________

Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.

Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.

We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.

The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

“Drenched in opiates and regret, I heard this song once and became besotted by it. It sounds like lost love, past lives, unforgiven mistakes and transgressions.” - Anthony Bourdain on the song "Anemone."

This song has fascinated me since the first time I heard it

[taltalmilal]

The greatest tambourine player the world has ever known.

This relaxes me like a rainstorm. I could just replay this over on repeat and sleep.

Dan Allaire (drummer) is a fucking genious. Precise like a metronome, groovy like 1969.

"You should be picking me up,
Instead you're dragging me down,
Now I'm missing you more (more),
Cause baby, you're not around"

One of my favorite pieces of music. Smoked a blunt this morning before listening. Magical.

[leealexander]

The best live version of this track. Acoustics are spot on

[deadboys]

These boys never miss a beat still get goosebumps

[SirOsgoodSexton]

A great song from one of my favourite bands. Hugely underrated in my view. I came across them in the late 90s and couldn't believe that a band with such a fantastic catalogue was not more widely recognised (whether that was the aim or not).

[jakeband]

the band is great the music not sold out belongs to all of us

[misterpopeofficial.]

best version I've heard. Anton does no wrong.

[GrimdarkGoblin]

fuck yeah that's awesome. How effortlessly they play together

[jlux]

It’s on repeat. There’s just an amazing vibe from it.

[filmmaker]

Dan Allaire is a fucking badass drummer.

[danieltaylor]

Saw then live in Auckland last year. Fantastic 3!!! hour show and loved it when they played this song.

[JedLehman]

Can't believe Anton is still alive.

[danecobain]
