The result is an album that takes aim at the head, the heart, and the hips. It's a mix of the electronic and the organic — a moody rock album that genuinely moves, from the funky fire and industrialized guitar strut that gives "Til God Turns the Lights On" its unique swagger to the garage-rock abandon that supercharges "Falling Out Of The Sky". That sense of movement can be soft and deliberate, too. "Life in Rewind" is a fever dream of a slow-simmering soul song — equal parts gospel grace, 1960s R&B spirit, and dreamy reverb — and "White" is a leisurely piece of left-field folk, laced with watercolor streaks of digital noise.

I don’t use fever Dream nearly enough in describing albums around here.

Decided to listen to the Mason Jennings solo album on the way home tonight to get a bit of a break from Earthling. It’s alright. Kinda boring. I much prefer Painted Shield.
Edit: of course I write this and get to How Many Days and decide that song’s got legs. I also enjoyed The Game. The rest was fine I guess. Need more Painted Shield.

The new one that was released about 10 days ago in Stone’s label. I am sure I would feel better about it if I really wanted to hear eclectic folk rock, which does happen from time to time.

I didn’t really care for his new one.
Wild dark metal is a good recent one of his though.
Can never get instagram to embed. Can anyone explain.
Really looking forward to this album!

Life in Rewind:
When I first heard Dead Man’s Dream I thought I wish Brittany Davis was on lead vocals as the backing vocals are awesome and here we have a song with Brittany Davis on lead vocals. Love everything I have heard so far and really looking forward to the rest of the album. I think Brittany Davis on lead vocals would have made my enjoyment of Painted Shield even greater.

yeah, this one is great. I can see it being a Stone composition.
I read the article and somehow missed the best bit!!!
“Gossard says the group is already halfway through a third album and plans to play its first live shows later this year, including a stop at Eddie Vedder’s annual Ohana festival in September in Southern California.”

The new song is pretty great. The first album was really phenomenal but this band is really stretching out their sound with these first three singles.
