Robert Preston Collum moved from Brooklyn to Venice this spring – “to live near the ocean, ’cause who doesn’t want that,” he says – leaving behind his NYC duo Anything But Animals and bringing with a new nom de tune Pink Mexico. And a new album, the dyslexia-embracing “PNIK MXEICO,” which at times sounds like the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols arriving at a truce negotiated by a bunch of young garage-rockers. Or Spiritualized doing grunge. The album was made in Brooklyn, where it was produced by Jonathan Granoff (Zebu) and mastered by Nuutti Kataja (Dead Combo, Rinôçérôse). We’re not quite sure what to make of “Paperclip Toothpick,” but the weather near the beach these days must be great, because the frontman promises that a follow-up is already in the works.
