Not surprisingly for someone who's main musical gig is playing in the psychedelically relaxed Allah-Las, Pedrum Siadatian's first album recorded under the name PAINT was as laid-back as a cat stretched out in a beam of light. The second PAINT album has the same basic ingredients -- wobbly guitars, vintage keys, plenty of Kevin Ayers/Syd Barrett influence, Siadatian's lazy drawl of a voice -- and similarly home-cooked, mid-fi sound. So basically, if PAINT did the trick, Spiritual Vegas will too. It's a little more pulled together and there are more people playing on it, which means it has less of a claustrophobic, bedroom stuffy feel. There are also a few new influences added to the mix, chiefly some Middle Eastern psych on "Ta Fardah" and some new age atmospheres on the sprawling and stoned instrumental "Impressions." Siadatian also delivers a few tracks that shake off some of the heat-induced torpor to display a little bit of strutting mid-'60s beat pop ("Land Man"), conjure up Bo Diddley on cough syrup ("Well of Memory/ODAAT"), and on "Grape St." some light-hearted Kinksian rambling. Really, though, Spiritual Vegas is another album made to be listened to while totally immobile, preferably in a comfortable state of repose as the gently hooky, always pleasant songs roll by. Like PAINT's debut, it won't make you forget the Allah-Las, but as far as side hustles go, this isn't bad at all. In fact, some of their albums could use a little more of the stylistic range and willingness to experiment Siadatian displays here.
