Warpaint

Warpaint is Emily Kokal (guitar & vocals) Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass, vocals, Stella Mozgawa (drums & vocals) and Theresa Wayman (guitar & vocals). Heads up follows their beloved debut EP Exquisite Corpse, 2010’s the Fool and 2014’s Warpaint.

‘Heads Up’ was recorded after the band spent 2015 apart working on solo projects. Reuniting in January 2016, the band started to work with producer Jacob Bercovici, whom they had worked on their debut EP ‘Exquisite Corpse’ – into the studio to begin work on the new LP.

The album was recorded in House on the Hill studio in downtown LA, their home studios and Papap’s Palace and for the first time ever, recorded in pairs and alone rather than as a full band.

‘The doors were a little more open in terms of what was accepted and what wasn’t, because we were sharing ideas so rapidly between us” says the band drummer Stella Mozgawa of the recording process. “

“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 Lindberg “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?”

“I Feel really proud of what we made – almost surprised,” says Linberg “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”
