Sky Picnic – Paint Me A Dream (2013) review

Sky Picnic “Paint Me A Dream” (Nasoni, 2013)
Third album from this Brooklyn trio brings a lysergic sheen
to their 21st century psych pop, which recalls similar astral voyages from the
Rainbow Quartz psychedelic stable such as The Gripweeds, High Dials, Asteroid
#4, and Outrageous Cherry. Leah Cinnamon’s mesmerizing vocals soar hypnotically
around Chris Sherman’s spacey, Floydian keyboards, pointing this spaceship
directly into the heart of the sun. Funhouse whispers summon Eugene and his
ill-fated axe on the stalking ‘Freak Out Ethel’ (complete with gnarly solo),
while ‘Dream Yourself Away’ floats heavenward in a puff of purple haze like
Stevie Nicks under Rihannon’s spell.
                Other
favourites include ‘Kaleidoscopic Cadence’, with its melotronic, Crimsonesque
vibrations a la ‘Talk To The Wind’, ‘Cadence & Cascade’, or the McDonald
& Giles
album, and the epic, somnambulistic trance-inducing finale,
‘Slumbers Gate/Aurora’, which feels like something the Floyd left off Meddle.
