New album from Mad Painter

Mad Painter‘s latest album, Splashed, is a unique and refreshing take on classic rock music, combining elements of Woodstock-era psychedelic rock, glam rock n’ roll and heavy anthems reminiscent of Uriah Heep. Led by the talented songwriter and band founder Alex Gitlin, the band consists of accomplished musicians including drummer Al Hendry, bassist Kenne Highland, guitarist Al Naha and backing vocalist Julie Gee.

The seventeen-track record opens with lead single “Illusion” a high-energy track with driving organ and guitar riffs and a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along. The song perfectly captures the spirit of Mad Painter’s music, which is rooted in the traditions of classic rock while bringing something fresh and innovative to the table.

The album’s third track, “River,” is a soulful rock n roll masterpiece with its swirling guitars and swaggering vocal work. The song showcases the band’s musical range and ability to blend different styles of rock into a cohesive and exciting sound.

“Rock and Roll Samurai,” the album’s second single, is another standout track with its dreamy guitar melodies and infectious chorus. Gitlin’s vocals are smooth and effortless, adding to the song’s dreamlike atmosphere. The track seamlessly transitions into “Lie to Me,” a softer song with a powerful ballad-esque vibe that showcases the band’s songwriting prowess and ability to infuse emotion into their music.

Other notable tracks on the album include “Let Him Go,” a more laid-back song with a delicately grooving bassline, and “Jacques,” an upbeat jam packed full of rhythm and colourful instrumental work, capped by instantly memorable vocal leads.

As the band’s sophomore record, Splashed is a sensational journey through modern rock music filtered through Mad Painter’s unique creative lens. A dazzling run through of their musicianship prowess and engaging songwriting panache, it’s an album of timeless quality from a band that continues to operate at the top of their game.
