All-female LA outfit Warpaint has been gathering accolades off of last year's EP Exquisite Corpse and their attention getting performance (of which I caught some of) at Lollapalooza this year. Their sound is haunting and deliberate yet warm and aching that never feels overly delicate. It is that balanced output that has us music chatterers worked up over their debut LP The Fool out this Tuesday on Rough Trade.
The first single "Undertow" is Warpaint at their most melodic, coupling the ethereal siren of dual vocals with a lean, empty room ambiance. The shackles are removed halfway through as the tempo picks up and the open space is brushed with flourishes of drums, guitars and strings that lock together and unravel as the end in a spellbound conclusion.

An additional bit of trivia: Actress Shannyn Sossamon is the former drummer of Warpaint and sisters with bassist Jenny Lindberg. Her skills are featured on the Exquisite Corpse EP. This is only brought up because she is a fine....um....actress.
Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate your post.
