Atlanta's SUBSONICS are a gutter-glam, minimal rock'n'roll trio. This is their 8th album and it's called "Flesh Colored Paint." Like all their previous works, this is a distilled hodgepodge of decades of popular culture and classic literature culminating in a collection of short and groovy shambolar: Chuck Berry, Albert Camus, AM radio rock jocks, Bo Diddley, Golden Age TV, surrealism, Mad Magazine, kung-fu flicks, Herman Melville, Little Richard, self-negating philosophy, David Johansen, The Bible, Dee Dee Ramone, Lee Van Cleef, Cornell Woolrich, advertising jingles, Dada, Carole King, Bugs Bunny, and Casablanca; the poem, not the film.
This is a gorgeous mess of an record, and it's cool. REAL COOL, KILLER. We hope you'll find something within to make you think, or at the very least, dance, if it's too deep.
