Rainbow Nothing 3

New virtual ‘7 inch’ from Rainbow Nothing lands on the last ‘Bandcamp Friday’ of 2021.

The A-Side is a dark piece with spoken word, imagine Richard Harris meeting Shadow Ring in a bad-trip-Sabbath doom-scape (with special guest The Domestiques Kevin McCarvel on fuzz bass!)

The B-Side is some blissed-out acoustic porch-pickins’ from Steve krakow aka Plastic Crimewave, augmented by Andrew Paine’s Frippian e-bow guitar strains.

One for adventurous sonic cosmonaut friends!

The Blue Tree – Fell

The Blue Tree (Matthew Shaw & Andrew Paine) release their new album ‘Fell’ on Glass Modern Records as a limited edition of 50CDR and in digital format.

The Blue Tree is a collaborative project between Andrew Paine & Matthew Shaw. Their first three albums have been described as experimental excursions into far off plains of weirded out sunny summer psyche made with apps, FX pedals, sticky tape and glue.

‘Fell’ is a different beast; recorded in Glasgow and Christchurch under lockdown conditions. Drawing from numerology, oblique strategies, dystopian sci-fi, chance operations and their inherent Taurean groove, Blue Tree have channelled number stations, fragmented radio signals, cut up poetry, technically obsolete electronics, howling guitars, dark ambient synths and industrial beats to produce a weighty progressive album channeling hope through isolation and the chaos of thechanging world.

Watch Matthew’s video for ‘Found Under A Rock (In The Desert)’ here:

‘Fell’ can be purchased at https://glassmodern.bandcamp.com/album/fell

RAINBOW NOTHING

Delighted to announce the debut from Rainbow Nothing…

“A new cross-continental sonic experiment/alliance helmed by Glaswegian Andrew Paine (Richard Youngs / The Flexibles, Blue Tree, The Domestiques, Grainer) and Chicagoan Steven Krakow (PCWSyndicate, Spiral Galaxy). Fist-pumping drone and inner sensory exploration in electrically charged sequences and pattern.”
