SUBSONICS - "Flesh Colored Paint" LP


Days ago, Slovenly Recordings from Reno, Nevada released The SUBSONICS' highly recommandable new full length “Flesh Colored Paint”.

Atlanta’s SUBSONICS are a gutter-glam, minimal rock’n’roll trio featuring Rockin' Clay Reed on guitar and vocals, Buffi Aguero on drums and Rob Del Bueno on bass.


If you dig The Velvet Underground, The Black Lips or Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, to name a few, this is gonna be right up your alley.


Flesh Colored Paint” is already their 8th album and most probably their best so far. 

Like all their previous works, this is a distilled hodgepodge of decades of popular culture and classic literature culminating in a collection of short and groovy shambolar: Lou Reed, Chuck Berry, Albert Camus, AM radio rock jocks, Bo Diddley, Golden Age TV, surrealism, Mad Magazine, kung-fu flicks, Herman Melville, Little Richard, self-negating philosophy, David Johansen, The Bible,  Lee Van Cleef, Cornell Woolrich, advertising jingles, Dada, Carole King and Bugs Bunny.

Pesonally, this is my favorite release on SLOVENLY since a very long time. In fact, since "Full Tramp" by the Dirty Fences.
