The ever-changing, ever-challenging
Red Krayola return with 1999's
Fingerpainting. Head
Krayola Mayo Thompson returns with an eclectic supporting crew, including fellow Drag City artists
David Grubbs and
Stephen Prina, along with other regular
Krayolas like George Hurley and Frederick Barthelme. The 11-piece
Red Krayola turns out 12 new works like "Bad Medicine," "There There Betty Betty" and "Vile Grass," which play with noise, creative arrangements, and vocalizing, shaping these elements into ambitious instrumentals and whimsical songs that graze pop's fringe. ~ Heather Phares
