about

Get Hip Recordings (GH-1179) LP/CD/Digital

Description:
In Bipolaroid’s 17th trip around the sun, or 5th full-length album, Paint It, Blacker (Get Hip Recordings), the group has returned full circle. With the reimaged collaboration of founding contributors singer/songwriter Ben Glover and multi-instrumentalist/arranger Ben Sumner, Paint It, Blacker brings us to a different timeline of what an estranged follow-up to their 2003 debut, Transparent Make-believe may have sounded like.
Whereas in a post-truth, post-fiction society; objects do not appear as they seem, colors or lack of are not what they once were, or their meaning has somehow changed; Paint It, Blacker ponders whether to wallow in this indefinite darkness or flee to cave dwelling, fake pretend or reject the new black.

The Active Listener's Acid Folk Sampler Volume Two
by The Active Listener

supported by 4 fans who also own “Paint It Blacker”

Much as the mystical whisperings of acid folk oft evoke fancies of mist shrouded woods and meadow blooms swaying in a breeze in my mind, I don’t care much for the underlying dark taint of despair and sorrow herein. However, I was eager to research some of these artists. I wouldn’t have bought this if I’d known beforehand I’d be supporting the disgusting music of a blasphemer by the name of James McKeown. Most of his ‘music’ is sick and evil. Like the poor soul on this cover. 5/10. Alrihkh
