Warpaint is an American indie rock band from Los Angeles, California. They have also shared the stage with ‘The xx’, ‘Band of Horses’, ‘Yeasayer’, ‘Akron Family’, ‘Javelin’, and ‘The Walkmen’. LA Times Columnist Todd Martens wrote an article describing the band’s style as ‘Combining the dense, shadowy mood of some early Cure with the sonic drift of Mazzy Star and Cat Power’s more hazy vocal work, Warpaint occupies a challenging space where the mood can vary from deep woods come-down to fierce primal ritual’. In 2009, they self-released their debut EP,’ Exquisite Corpse’ which was mixed by former ‘Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante. Warpaint were signed to Rough Trade Records, and immediately began extensive touring throughout the United States and Europe. In 2010, the band released their first full-length album entitled ‘The Fool’. To support and market their album, the band played at various major festivals including ‘Summer Sundae’, ‘Bonnaroo’, ‘Glastonbury Festival’, ‘Reading and Leeds Festivals’, ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’, ‘Rock Werchter’ and ‘Electric Picnic’. The album received a glowing review in the NME musical publication. In January 2014, the band released ‘Warpaint’ which is their second studio album and was produced by Flood (Mark Ellis) and the band itself. The album was preceded by the single, ‘Love Is to Die’. The single was released on October 28 with the pre-ordered digital version of the album.
