PAINTED GARDEN CD/LP

Coming March 6 2007

Greg Ashley, the mastermind behind The Gris Gris and The Mirrors, is going solo for the first time since the 2003 masterpiece Medicine Fuck Dream. The result is his most ambitious, textured, beautiful and dark record to date: Painted Garden.

While being more warm and intimate than last year's Gris Gris wonder For The Season, it still reflects the same vision behind the band's greatness. Partially written in a burnt out ghetto in Oakland, partially written in his remote cabin in Kosse, TX, Painted Garden was completely produced and written by Ashley (except for half of one song, which was co-written by an Oakland chanteuse) and 80% completely played by him as well. This record is an example of a true vision realized, and puts Ashley right up there with the great musical minds of the day.

"And with the release of Painted Garden, Ashley proves that in an era of greedy, speedy sonic consumption, his slow-building albums offer a rewarding transcendence outta this metropolis."
-- Jennifer Maerz, SF WEEKLY cover story
