Painted On is a cinematic indie duo based out of Queens, NY. The alternative band was formed in 2019 by multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and producer Anthony Farina and singer/songwriter Hillary Capps. The pair are longtime collaborators and life partners who tied the knot in August, 2020.
Painted On creates music that is sonically atmospheric and cinematic. The lyrics are poetic and sensory, while the melodies maintain a clear underlying pop sensibility. Farina and Capps come from starkly different musical backgrounds (hard rock, pop) and share exceptionally different tastes (metalcore, classic jazz), and Painted On is the harmonious result of their various influences colliding.
With the shutdown and quarantine in March 2020, the duo spent most days in their home studio in Ridgewood, Queens, focusing their energies on the creation of their debut EP cloud*chasers (out 1/22/21). The 7-song album was self-recorded and produced by the band, as are all things Painted On. The first new single off of the EP, “Wine Wandering Mind” was released in August of 2020 and described as “a slow floating indietronica track with stunning harmonies… a story-like experience capturing the melancholy feeling of waiting it out” (Unheard Gems) and a “soundscape that instantly embraces your senses” with “well crafted and soothing yet passionate melodies and lyrics” (Wolf In A Suit).
