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.
Echo Yarn are Caroline McKenzie and Andrew Paine. Under this new name, they return to their recurring themes of nature, distance and the beauty of the obscured. Come walk with us…

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.

A video of ‘Four Of Wands’ from the forthcoming ‘Fell’ album by The Blue Tree is now available on youtube:

‘Fell’ is available from the Glass Modern Bandcamp page in Digital and CDR formats (limited to 50 copies). Taking pre-orders now and released unto the Earth on October 16th.

Haus Of Paine is a monthly ‘radio’ show starting on the 17th August featuring a smorgasbord of SW Radio cuts, curate’s eggs, obscure 7″, spoken word, glam stomps, jazz squonk, prog madness and concepts that will blow your mind.
‘Abandonment’ is a collection of long deserted works in progress – a loose canon of close shaves and very near to somethings – rediscovered unexpectedly and given a digital spring clean.
Rainbow Nothing – Rainbow Nothing b/w Les Envaders
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.”
