Painting By Numbers
2008-2009
∟ CASSETTE
∟ DIGITAL
Painting By Numbers was one of many project proposed by Antoine Ollivier (Dawnshape, Kid North), Gregory Hoepffner (Kid North,Dawnhape, Radius System, Time To Burn) & Axel Dallou (Kid North, Radius System) and this 2008-2009 is the raw testimony. This band was born of a desire to be free of habits, go for without asking and choosing a language they did not speak: improvisation. Despite the lack of map and compass, the trio managed to subdue the excitement of adventure by reaching a balance between sonic experiments and the pure groove pleasure. Recorded live between 2008 and 2009, the music of Painting By Numbers didn’t aged and we are very happy give them a second life. When we submitted our reissue project, they proposed to increase it by 3 unreleased songs : Prom Queen, Banana Ray & Trench Wake and just for that, we feel proud.
