How to Draw Fire

If there's one thing we love at Pitchfork, it's a good old-fashioned dose of weird. And let me tell you, PAINTED DOLL's latest offering, "How To Draw Fire", is as weird as they come. This album is like a psychedelic trip through a kaleidoscope of 70s glam rock, 80s synthpop, and 90s grunge, with a sprinkle of something entirely unidentifiable thrown in for good measure. At first listen, you might think you've stumbled upon a forgotten b-side from Ziggy Stardust himself. But as the album unfolds, you realize that PAINTED DOLL are no mere imitators. They've taken the sounds of the past and twisted them into something entirely their own, like a musical Frankenstein's monster stitched together from the best bits of Bowie, Prince, and maybe a touch of Spinal Tap. Tracks like "Together Alone" and "Hidden Hand" are full of catchy hooks and lush harmonies that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time. But just when you think you've got them pinned down, PAINTED DOLL throw a curveball with the hauntingly beautiful "Dress", a mournful ballad that showcases a more introspective side to the duo. In short, "How To Draw Fire" is a wild ride that will keep you guessing from start to finish. Whether you're a die-hard fan of 70s rock or just looking for something a bit different to spice up your playlist, PAINTED DOLL has got you covered. Trust me, you won't hear anything else quite like it.
