Mad Painter has established themselves as a vibrant psych rock band with a reverence for musical innovation and exploration. Their soundscapes are speckled banners of energy and ideas. Much like the name, ‘mad painter’, the genius is in the eclectic imagery and psychedelic visuals. ‘Empty Bottles’ is their latest release, a revving hard rock track with elating moments of classic rock and a touch of country blues. The listening experience will take you back to 70s artists like Sweet, Slade, Mud and Mott the Hoople. With a progressive and imaginative spin on their work, Mad Painter makes it relevant for the contemporary context.
The track opens with a sprayed fusion of melody. It marks the guitar as lead instrument, the vehicle that will lead us through promiscuous rock n roll journey. A shimmer of hammond organ, groovy vocals, and punching beats form around it like a carnival. The country manifests in these verses, mixing in warmly and charismatically with the rock spirit. The riff progressions are incredible; especially its strategic use to seamlessly shift and sieve through the changing genre quotients of the track. The ideas, influence, and the execution are driven by skill, strategy and honed technique. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
