Warpaint have the coolest band name that I’ve come across this month. It wasn’t the fact that John Fusciante mixed their record, or the fact their getting rave reviews from all over the place that inspired me to take a listen — it was entirely the band name. See, so if you have a dope name, I’ll probably listen…if not, well, I don’t know — you may never make it into the headphones…just sayin. This track starts with a simple guitar lick, then the haunting vocal comes in, and by the time the drums hit, you can’t help but appreciate Warpaint’s sound. Its psychedelic, sort of — I guess its psychedelic without really trying to be…I could make some comparisons with other bands that they sort of sounds like…but that shit is boring, and these ladies are not, so just listen. The L.A.-based band is currently on tour in the USA, doing the Fader party at CMJ last night and sneaking their way across the country in the next couple of weeks. — oh yeah, and they have an EP out on Manimal Vinyl…so you can play that shit proper.
