“Opener ‘Wicker Casket’ is an almost mellow Gothic song with an echoey vocal tonality and complex and clever layering that immediately resonated with this writer. It’s a beautiful, ethereal song that is a big portent of things to come. ‘Leather Wings (The Blood Is Life)’ is almost stoner music, the type I would play after returning home from a night out at the local Goth/Metal club after a few beers and lyrically it takes its cue (I suspect) from Stokers Dracula and Leviticus.
‘Thousand Eyes Restrict’ continues in the same vein and although they don’t really sound like them I am occasionally reminded of Modest Mouse, both acoustically and percussion-wise. This is probably the most traditional-sounding Goth song on the album and is a prime example “

thePicassos, "Divination Scars: among the dead in symmetry" Album Review
"Avant-Goth". "Death Folk". "Cemetery Punk". All are fitting descriptors for Michigan's own thePicassos. Yet, none of these fully capture the true depth of their sound, and their newest full length, "Divination Scars: among the dead in symmetry" is proof of this. The album begins strong with opening track "Wicker Casket", bringing in sounds from influences found outside the typical Goth genre. The guitars jangle, but not in the way that most post-punk enthusiasts are familiar with, and the vocals, melodious and drenched in reverb, sound more like The Pixies going through a deep depression. The mood shifts completely on the next track, "Leather Wings (the blood is the life)", which marches forward like a funeral dirge in the best sense. The entire album carries so many different influences and sounds, ranging from deathrock to folk, post-punk to indie, with even a little Mid-West post-hardcore ( I REFUSE to use the term "screamo" because it is utter nonsense) thrown in for good measure, all layered in between a little bit of cabaret. The most incredible thing about this album is the fact that there are so many different influences on display, yet thePicassos manage to all blend it together into a cohesive sound. More so, not one song on the entire album sounds like the one before it. This is, in this writer's opinion, a sign of true innovation. As we start counting down to the end of the year, "Divination Scars: among the dead in symmetry" is a strong contender for album of the year.

“thePicassos – Weird Sisters (feat. Sarah Rose) – My feet are immediately tapping for this swing rich team up of Detroit eclectic rockers ThePicassos and Sarah Rose of (Sarah and the Safe Word) on this run away wooden rollercoaster through an abandoned carnival. This baseline is high stepping zoot suit fire and skeleton shimmer. The Picassos have become masters of taking any fringe style and making it distinctly their own. i really can’t wait to hear where they go next. Charles is a modern-day poet of experience beyond just words in a song.”
