Warpaint – Scala, London 28/10/10
Stunning harmonised vocals, blistering guitar howls and sparsely arranged psychedelic melodies have made Warpaint one of the most hyped Rough Trade signings in a long time. Thankfully this evening lays solid foundations to the huge expectations that have been attached to the young Californians.

On first listen The Fool could idly be mistaken as a chaotic mess – a collection of great notions, but when brought together they appear at odds with one another. Although after a couple of listens the ethereal vocals, coarse melodies and abysmal sonics never gelled quite so successfully. With each song being a transcendental uneven shot of cosmic energy.

Warpaint: ‘Undertow’
Warpaint have released the video for the track ‘Undertow’, which was directed by actress Shannyn Sossaman, bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg’s sister.

Warpaint – Exquisite Corpse
Warpaint show an appreciation for atmospheric detail, a delight in lingering on bent chords or turns of harmonically strange phrasing. A promising band.
Rough Trade sign Warpaint!

Hecuba – Paradise
Hecuba’s brand of witchy electro-art pop is so hot right now. Another camera-friendly boy/girl duo from Southern California, they’re easy to typecast, harder to pin down.
