The Brilliance of Warpaint: One of My Favourite Bands of The Last Decade

I first heard Warpaint when a series of clips was doing the rounds – particularly this song they had called Billie Holiday. Beguiling. Deceptive. Strangely perfect. Hypnotic. Those words describe a lot of the music Warpaint has gone on to make too. I was further hooked from first listens to their debut full-lengther, The Fool. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 615

Warpaint, The Fool (2010) For me with Warpaint it really all started here – yes, the EP before this debut album is great (and I got to that after) but it was The Fool that sold me on the sound of the band after the promise of some of the early, vital/viral YouTube clips. Such […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 623

Warpaint, Heads Up (2016) I’ve been a fan right through the band’s recorded career – since the first EP, but it really kicked in for me with the release of their self-titled, second album. That’s when I knew Warpaint was really a great band. I’d liked everything I’d heard up to that point, but that […]

Warpaint: Heads Up

Warpaint Heads Up Rough Trade Records Much as Warpaint’s two albums to date – and handful of EPs, singles and remixes – have suggested a band growing with each release, slowly, subtly morphing, it is the group’s brand new record that might fully announce them. They sound more urgent here. More focused. We get that […]

jennylee: Right On!

jennylee Right On! Rough Trade If you’re already a Warpaint fan you’ll want to hear this, the debut solo effort by Jenny Lee Lindberg – here stylised as jennylee. Ignore the meandering mess of the opening track (Blind) and wait for the lush bass work you know and love from Lindberg’s main gig. If by […]

Warpaint: Warpaint

Warpaint Warpaint Rough Trade Records If Warpaint didn’t exist Quentin Tarantino would have dreamed them up for a bar scene in one of his movies; possibly he’d have had them playing in the scene, or someone hip would have mentioned them as a thing – then later, maybe even in that same scene, we’d have […]
