Paint is the solo project of Pedrum Siadatian, guitarist and vocalist for the band Allah-Las. Just after *Calico Review*, Allah-Las' third album (2016), his ideas slowly began to mature, fueled or guided by figures such as Gregory Corso, John Lennon, Kevin Ayers, and Syd Barrett. He found a producer and partner in Frank Maston, who instinctively understood that these songs would crumble if polished too actively in the studio. It flows, it overflows, it changes color—it’s Paint!
