Release Notes:
A Los Angeles quartet dealing in sparse, atmospheric art rock, Warpaint
originally consisted of sisters Jenny Lee Lindberg and Shannyn Sossamon (on bass
and drums, respectively), as well as Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman on vocal and
guitar. Sossamon left due to conflicts with her acting schedule and was replaced
by Stella Mozgawa. With a dedicated lineup, the band began to experiment with
murky spaciousness and stripped-down arrangements, and gained the attention of
former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. In 2009, they
self-released their debut EP, Exquisite Corpse (which was mixed by Frusciante).
After a successful showing at CMJ, they signed with Rough Trade and set to work
recording their full-length debut for the label. The Fool arrived in October
2010, featuring more fleshed-out songcraft and stronger performances. After
taking a few years to follow up their debut and citing their desire to
experiment more with sounds and really connect as a group, the band released the
lead single "Love Is to Die," which was featured in a Calvin Klein advert in
September 2013. Their eponymous sophomore album, which was produced by Flood and
mixed by him and Nigel Godrich, was released in early 2014. Following the
album's release, Warpaint spent almost a year-and-a-half on the road. After the
tour finished, the women of Warpaint pursued different projects: Jenny Lee
Lindberg issued her solo debut Right On!; Theresa Wayman founded BOSS with Hot
Chip's Sarah Jones and All We Are's Guro Gikling; Stella Mozgawa played with
Kurt Vile on tour and in the studio, and Emily Kokal collaborated with Paul
Bergmann. The band reunited in January 2016 and recorded their third album in a
matter of months. Released that September, Heads Up brought a newfound urgency
-- as well as inspirations such as Kendrick Lamar, Janet Jackson, Bj÷rk, and
OutKast -- to Warpaint's music
