Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2013, 'Painting' is Ocean Colour Scene's eighth studio album, coming after their 2007 release 'On the Leyline'. By this time, the band had solidified their sound but faced a more niche audience compared to their 90s heyday. This album showcases a return to their melodic roots while exploring themes of change and reflection.
