Heads Up

Heads Up
- Shrink-wrapped
Itâ€™s easy to get the wrong impression about Warpaint. The bandâ€™s studio albums (including their most recent full-length, 2014â€™s Warpaint) have tended to emphasize moody atmospheres: gauzy keyboards, hypnotic harmonies and sinister grooves. In concert, however, the Los Angeles quartetâ€”vocalist/guitarist Emily Kokal, vocalist/guitarist Theresa Wayman, bassist/vocalist Jenny Lee Lindberg and drummer/keyboardist/vocalist Stella Mozgawaâ€”pair this moodiness with bumped-up tempos and sinewy beats. The musicâ€™s no less darkâ€”but it has an additional rhythmic urgency and tension that can be surprising. Of course, confounding expectations has been part of Warpaintâ€™s m.o. since the band formed in 2004. And so when the band convened to make their third studio album, Heads Up, they shared a common goal: to make a faster, dance-oriented record. â€œWeâ€™ve always had this really jammy, high-energy live show compared to some of our records,â€ Kokal says. â€œWe all love to dance. We didnâ€™t want to take away from the emotion or the core feeling of what our band is all aboutâ€”which I donâ€™t even think we could take out if we wanted, because it is who we areâ€”but we wanted to bump the speed up and have a little bit more fun.â€ Mission accomplished.
