Soundscape Records is proud to present Los Angeles all-girl quartet, Warpaint, Live in Kuala Lumpur on 12th Feb at Bentley Music Auditorium. Warpaint weave intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals and driving post punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between psychedelia and intimacy. Both live and on record, Warpaint sound like they’re channeling something truly otherworldly, and mystical.
The band recently announced the follow-up to their 2010 critically-acclaimed debut, The Fool. It’s self-titled, spans 12 tracks, is set to release on 20th January 2014 via Rough Trade Records.
‘Warpaint’ was co-produced by Warpaint and Flood (PJ Harvey, Sigur Ros, New Order, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Foals), and mixed by Flood and Nigel Godrich (Radiohead). The album was conceived after some writing and recording sessions that took place in The Joshua Tree late last year. Here the band was joined by visionary director Chris Cunningham who has partnered with them for many of the album visuals including the cover.
He has spent the past two years filming and photographing the band as they made ‘Warpaint’. The group will also contribute a cover of ‘The Chauffeur’ to a forthcoming Duran Duran tribute album released in aid of charity next year and will return to the region in February to promote the new record, starting at Laneway Festival in Australia, the four-piece will then perform in a few Asian cities, including Kuala Lumpur.
Warpaint is Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Theresa Wayman (vocals/guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass/vocals), and Stella Mozgawa (drums).
