Warpaint is an American alternative rock band hailing from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2004, the band consists of Emily Kokal on vocals and guitar, Theresa Wayman on guitar and vocals, Jenny Lee Lindberg on bass and backing vocals, and Stella Mozgawa on drums. With their unique blend of ethereal melodies and intricate instrumentation, Warpaint has captivated audiences worldwide. Their music is a testament to their artistic prowess and has solidified their place as one of the most influential bands in the alternative rock genre.

Since their formation, Warpaint has garnered critical acclaim for their distinct sound and captivating live performances. Their music seamlessly blends elements of indie rock, dream pop, and post-punk revival to create a truly mesmerizing sonic experience.

The band's current line-up showcases the individual talents of each member. Emily Kokal's haunting vocals combined with her skillful guitar playing set the tone for many of Warpaint's songs. Theresa Wayman brings her own unique style to the mix with her melodic guitar riffs and complementary vocal harmonies. Jenny Lee Lindberg's dynamic basslines provide a solid foundation for the band's sound while also adding depth through her backing vocals. Stella Mozgawa's precise drumming ties everything together with rhythmic precision.

the shamanistic, all female band warpaint release their stunning and everything we hoped for debut album, 'the fool' on rough trade. the album was recorded in los angeles and produced by tom biller (beck, karen o, liars), with added mixes from andrew weatherall (new order, primal scream, bjork) and adam samuels (john frusciante, daniel lanois). this is the first recording since their fantastic 2009 'exquisite corpse' ep. warpaint weave intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals and driving post punk rhythms into gorgeous, sparwling songs that skirt the line between psychedelia and intimacy. both live and on record, warpaint sound like they're channelling something truly otherworldly, mystical. 'the fool' is their utterly mesmeric debut full-length album on rough trade records.
