July 10 street date. Having first made his mark as a songwriter and guitarist for Los Angeles' Allah-Las, Pedrum Siadatian has etched out a place of his own with his solo work as PAINT. What started as modest 4-track experiments quickly took on a life of their own as Pedrum began distilling his musical and lyrical inspirations into something both timeless and new. His miniature menagerie of light-psych and proto-punk gems had outgrown their cassette cage and were now ready to be heard. This year sees PAINT returning with the release of the ambitious "Spiritual Vegas". While Ray Davies-smirks and Kevin Ayers-wit abound, Siadatian's singular touch is unmistakable. Here we find an emboldened artist coloring outside the lines, unleashing an opus both idiosyncratic and focused - cohesion through diversity.
