Warpaint is a 4-piece from LA that makes fuzzed-out, trippy art rock. even though I've been listening to their debut EP nonstop for a week now, it's hard to describe it. each song is different and fascinating, and the EP overall is dark, a little creepy, and beautiful. there are elements of shoegaze, noise, punk and folk. the multi-layered vocals evoke Cat Power on some tracks, particularly the wistfully sweet track "Billie Holiday."
one of the reasons I'm so excited about this band is that all of its members are female. I can't help but feel that women are perpetually under-appreciated and taken for granted in music, especially indie rock, and a band of girls making smart, weird and interesting art rock is a very good thing.
