Our Take

Ah, PAINTING's debut album "Painting Is Dead". An ambitious title for an album that is anything but lifeless. This London-based trio has managed to capture the essence of modern psychedelia with a fresh, unique twist.

The opening track, "Brushstroke Blues", sets the tone with its dreamy guitar riffs and hypnotic vocals. It's a slow burner that gradually builds to a euphoric climax, leaving you feeling like you've just come down from a cosmic high.

Tracks like "Canvas Dreams" and "Surreal Splatter" showcase the band's versatility, blending elements of shoegaze, indie rock, and electronic music to create a sound that is truly their own. The haunting vocals of lead singer Emma Brush add an ethereal quality to the music, drawing you in and refusing to let go.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Painting Is Dead". The band delves into darker territory with tracks like "Fading Frames", exploring themes of decay and loss. It's a stark contrast to the more upbeat tracks on the album, but a necessary one to truly appreciate the depth of PAINTING's songwriting prowess.

Overall, "Painting Is Dead" is a triumph for PAINTING, showcasing their ability to push boundaries and explore new sonic landscapes. With this album, they have firmly established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to watch in the UK music scene.
