Synopsis

Album Description
2009 official label release of the L.A. band's self-distributed EP comes with a new bonus track. Expertly mixed by John Frusciante, the EP captures the band's sonic textures and playful dynamism Warpaint is notorious for creating live. Warpaint weave majestic, haiku-like guitars, hypnotic vocals and driving Post-Punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between the soundscapes of Psychedelia/Shoegaze, the haunting intimacy of Folk and Rock's primal heaviness.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an amazing EP which I listen to quite frequently. One of my favorite pieces of music from the decade. And I've had the privilege to see this inspiring band live many times and they are wonderful..

"Stars" is beautifully ambient that puts you into a dream-like haze.

"Elephants" is a great up-tempo song that makes you want to dance with your shadow.

"Billie Holiday"s a pretty acoustic ballad that transforms into Mary Wells' "My Guy". Beautifully done, Warpaint makes it their own, giving it new life.

"Beetles" is pure magic. Starting off as a dance-song with heavy rhythm, soon morphing into a hypnotic break with haunting vocals and starting right back into making you want to shake your ass again. Perfectly executed.

Then, their is "Burgundy" with it's intro that makes you feel like you've been transported into the Ethers. Maybe, my favorite song on this EP.. Just amazing.

"Krimson" is the cherry on top. Hypnotizing you with a wonderful intro that transforms into another great 'shake your ass' song.

Overall, I think this EP is brilliant and cannot wait for Warpaint's full-length album.
