The Red Paintings - ‘We Belong In the Sea’

Known more for their outlandish costumes, interactive stage shows and grandiose publicity stunts, you may be surprised to find out that the eclectic (sorry, I know that’s the most overused term in journalism) Brisbane outfit The Red Paintings do in fact make music. They’ve just unveiled a decidedly subdued and stripped-back new single, ‘We Belong in the Sea’, just in time for Christmas.

After a run of mediocre EPs, Trash McSweeney and co. return with a sound more suited to their skills, rather than them trying to be an alternative rock band. The song survives solely on piano, cello and Trash’s fragile vocals, and when the drums kick in softly towards the end of the song it’s a nice payoff for the listener.

Always an interesting experience live, those in Brisbane can head along to the band’s Dr. Suess-themed The Grinch Who Stole Christmas show at The Tivoli Theatre on December 22. There’s an all-ages and an over-18s show. Sweet.
