PAINT – Daily Gazette
Sometimes the mess is the message. PAINT is the project of Allah-Las guitarist / singer Pedrum Siadatian, and the title of his first solo album. Started by four-tracking his strange, slow-growing ideas just after Allah-Las third record Calico Review, PAINT has a happily paradoxical finished-but-not-finished, wet-to-the-touch feel, like an even more shambolic Kevin Ayers or Syd Barrett, but the songs that never came out.
