That Hideous Sound - How Many Times

Breathe Panel - Spring

We wrote this song together during the last stages of writing for the first album. It never got finished in time but we played it live ever since and knew it would be something we'd like to come back with. Apart from the obvious connotations of the changing seasons, this song was originally about a blossoming relationship. But as time passed and we understood it differently we came to realise it was more of a simple idea about things being transient and trying to find a way to celebrate that and look back on things that aren't in your life any more with a nice feeling. We were trying to use two guitars to make an effect that sounded like a different instrument all together, and this came out of that.

Breathe Panel - Spring

Poster Paints are Simon Liddell (Olympic Swimmers, Frightened Rabbit) and Carla J Easton who have changed their way of working and embraced the “new normal” to make art. Their debut single "Number 1" is an instant anthem. Teenage love, feeling invincible and long hot summers. 

Introduced through mutual friend Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines, Poster Paints was born as a result of the pandemic lockdown as a chance for Easton and Liddell to continue to be creative and collaborate: “The chance to still be able to do something you love became a reason to get out of bed," says Easton. "Something to hold on to, something that still couldn’t be taken away.”

Having worked remotely with Frightened Rabbit, whose members often found themselves in different cities, Liddell already had a blueprint for this method of collaboration. The process was based around home studios - emailing tracks back and forth, DIY vocal booths in wardrobes combined with state of the art drum studios. “It’s not the perfect way to work - it’ll never replace the chemistry of writing and playing in a room together," he says, "but when isolation is a necessity, we’re lucky to be living in a time that we have the technology to collaborate in this way.”

​

Poster Paints isn’t boxed in by genre restrictions or limited studio time. There was no end goal in how a song should sound. As a result the music is free; it’s the sound of two people exploring a new collaboration Glasgow indie pop, dream pop and shoegaze - the bands they grew up listening to, and are passionate about. "Number 1" features contributions from Jonny Scott (CHVRCHES) and Suse Bear (Tuff Love, Good Dog) and is produced by Liddell, mixed by David R Simpson, mastered by Paul Gallagher and made possible through funding from Creative Scotland. “It’s just so immediate” says Easton of the track. “Summer pop scuzz. Jesus and Mary Chain meets Moe Tucker by way of The Supremes."

 Poster Paints are here to soundtrack your summer.

Poster Paints - Number 1

when we were making our bealtes cover ep, we struggled with settling on the final track. "goodnight" was actually slotted as the last song on the ep for a long time but nearing the end, after recording "if you've got trouble", the tone of the record seemed to change in an interesting way. goodnight suddenly seemed too sweet and dissonant. we had been toying with doing a looser feeling song that captured the documentary feel of the anthology series, so "oh! darling - (take 5)" was recorded shortly after as a one-take that replaced "goodnight" as the last track on the ep.

shortly after the album was released evan lost his hard drive to an apple update and goodnight was lost along with the album stems. luckily i had recorded the song 'off the floor' with the recording app on my iphone during a playback session. what we're left with is this version of goodnight - playing off of the speakers in our studio, clawing back to life through this lo-fi rendering of a lost track, police sirens and all.
