More about: Warpaint
Warpaint are back, announcing their hotly-anticipated third album and unveiling the brilliant and aptly-titled, 'New Song'. Check it out below.
Their third album Heads Up will be released on 23 September, and was recorded in the legendary House On The Hill studio in LA. This follows bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg's stunning solo debut album from last year.
“Everybody was allowed to have their space, time and creative freedom with songs and figure out, ‘I wonder what the best notes would be? I wonder what the best would be to play?” says bassist Jenny Lee.“Everybody got to sit and go, “What do I want to do to this? What’s my part? What’s My Role? How can I make it the best?”
She continued: “I Feel really proud of what we made – almost surprised. When we were making it, I was like “I wonder what this is going to sound like? How’s this going to come together so nicely? I feel so proud of it, and like its an evolution of our band, It sounds like a mature version of Warpaint.”
Amen. If 'New Song' is anything to judge the album by, it's going to be pretty special - marking the most bold, confident and danceable sound and attitude that they've accomplished so far. We can't stop listening to it.
