Details:
painted saints fall into the realm of spaghetti western/gypsy/sad bastard music and writes tin can and twine romances in a color of rust with backdrops of long wind swept open roads framed by tangled barbed wire and naked telephone poles. Their songs are of ashtray broken hearts and lansdscapes of beauty and sorrow borrowing harmonies from old eastern europe, the desert southwest and the sentiments of working class rust belt americana.

painted saints is led by paul fonfara who was a member of devotchka, the denver gentlemen, touring member of woven hand and jim white who went out on his own featuring the talents of many of his denverite friends.
company town takes many of these influences and runs from long sweeping string arrangements to trip hop to minimal country beat poetry and features some of paul's artwork as well.
