"Painting With" strips Animal Collective back to vibrant, motorik beats and hyperactive, childlike melodies, trading the sprawling psychedelia of their past for a more immediate, and at times, frantic, sugar rush.
- "Painting With" was recorded at guitarist Deakin's home studio in Los Angeles, with the band self-producing the album.
- The album's cover art was created by Indonesian visual artist Daron Muller, featuring a series of abstract, colorful shapes.
- Upon release, "Painting With" reached number 30 on the UK Albums Chart and number 57 on the US Billboard 200.
