Warpaint - The Fool

The official blurb says that "Warpaint is an all-girl quartet from Los Angeles. They weave intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals, and driving post-punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between the soundscapes of psychedelia and intimacy." I couldn't put it any better myself.

I've been guided into the direction of Warpaint now for some time, but I've only recently had the opportunity to pick the record up and have a listen. I'm glad that I did.

The album is a big fat WOW! The production on this, fairly short but no filler all killer album is great. Everything is overly compressed, is drenched in a tonne of reverb and features intricate drum beats and plenty of inadvertently funky sub-bass lines to top it off. It works, the production is outstanding and fitting.

Warpaint's 'The Fool' is a beautiful and compelling album and it is a strong contender for album of the year! Check it out.
