To call Brooklyn art-rock outfit Not Blood Paint unique would be an understatement. Conventionally, the band is theatrically vivid and sonically intense. Musically, it's a group impossible to pigeonhole, far removed from traditional verse-chorus-verse structures. Not Blood Paint's new album, Believing Is Believing is out June 17.

The songs on Believing Is Believing manifest as detailed stories that worm into the minds of always-shifting narrators. At different times, you'll think Zappa, Ween, Primus, Gang of Four, Devo, early Genesis, Tool, Dirty Projectors. (The band itself would proffer Of Montreal. "That group inspired us in the beginning. We'd go dress up and dance our asses off when we saw them live.")

"Brooklyn's head-turning Not Blood Paint plays a kind of ecstatic, progged-out glam rock," says Time Out New York, "like the Mars Volta scoring an expressionistic musical." "Band most likely to start a cult," said FreeWilliamsburg. "Not Blood Paint defies lineage... they are as much a strategy as they are a band," chimed Brooklyn Based.
