The New Warpaint Record Sounds like a Minimal, Cult-Status, Rocker

My thoughts on the new record by Warpaint; very minimal, good drum sounds, unique tones on each track. The whole record is super-produced. I also think the album would have had a lot more impact if had come out prior to Lorde who has in effect taken the style of the new Warpaint record and delivered to the bulk of North America, before them. Having said this it may be good for the band as they may be more easily embraced by the music buying population. The bands new record is top notch indie release and super solid, you can tell a lot of people spent a ton of time and money on this record and its been worth it. I hope the sonic reverberations inside listeners heads are all positive because this is a nice record.

I mot not to sure how to assess it lyrically but hopefully there are more hooks that I heard on the first listen. Having said this critics have been ranting on about how the album fits together and slides into the next track really well. A brilliant release from the L.A woman maybe not a hit record but a timeless cult status record for sure and that aint bad !!! :)

New Warpaint Record "Biggy" - Psychedelic Heaven

Well what can I say this song is one hell of a trip. It's awesome to see the L.A woman back on top with this quality release. In the new music biz it can seem as if bands kind of fade away but usually they are just working hard on a serious project and then go into full on fight mode to promote that sucker. This definitely seems to me the case for Warpaint. Their song "Biggy" debuted on The Fader one of the biggest global taste makers in music alongside Brooklyn Vegan. New York really does seem to be at the forefront of indie music in my opinion. L.A seems to still caught up in the myths and legends of the majors that were once giants in music. It's probably no different in music on the east coast because most of the small companies are owned by majors, but the labels in Brooklyn are dope. Especially one I don't want to divulge to Auckland Hipsterdom. At any rate I'm stoked that Warpaint have bridged the gap of the states and become very popular on both coasts. This tune really gets cooking around the 2.29 mark with the drums widening out in the mix and engulfing you in Psychedelic stereo heaven that is layered with the caress of dancing angels. But hey thats just my take on it ;)
