Alive In Wild Paint
With Alive In Wild Paint hailing from sunny Arizona, and Ceilings being a thoughtful expression of accessible indie rock helmed by mega-producer Mark Trombino, it makes perfect sense to indulge in comparisons to Jimmy Eat World's Clarity. And while the band acknowledges those parallels, their debut draws from a much wider base than just its hometown heroes - Snow Patrol, Counting Crows, Nada Surf, Radiohead, Blonde Redhead, The Cardigans. It makes sense to take cues from such a broad spectrum of music's finest when making a record like Ceilings - a record inspired by "the idea of creating songs that could be in film." It's not a stretch, though, since the scope of Ceilings succeeds in matching its ambition. You could say that is attributable to any number of factors, but above all, it seems that the group has always remained grounded in the importance of perseverance. Looking back, Roat reflects, "I'm sure we all faced our own personal doubts and fears from time to time, but our passion always outweighed any idea of giving up." And when listeners have a chance to bask in the mastery of Alive In Wild Paint's debut, they couldn't be happier it has come to fruition.
