REVIEWS

"...Nothin' like a good huff of paint to start the day right! And there's no one like VTB to augment your daily dose of dutch boy. This 10" mini-album presents some of VTB's very earliest recordings. The sessions seem to indicate that VTB enjoyed a particularly powerful vintage of Windsor-Newton cadmiums while recording. And for lack of VTB really repeating themselves, I can only paint an abstract portrait of the present opus. Their obsession with small sounds is in place and they already make for a crack improv ensemble, giving their pigment soaked inventions the kind of life that beckons many repeat listens. All The Paint I Can Breathe is comprised in nearly equal parts of Surrealist/Dada sound sculptures and of minimal wave/prog canvases. Frequently sounding a bit like they are lurking in the rafters, I wish they'd come down and help paint my awful bathroom. The real beauty of VTB is their ability to be completely subtle and spacious and yet to also rock, after a fashion. No mere outtakes, this record is cogent and surprising and to be huffed as often as possible, except when operating heavy machinery..."
