Artist Bio

Warpaint is a psychedelic rock band which formed in 2004 in Los Angeles, California, United States. The band consists of Jenny Lee Lindberg (vocals, bass), Emily Kokal (vocals, guitar), Theresa Wayman (vocals, guitar) and Stella Mozgawa (drums). The band’s original drummer, Shannyn Sossamon, left the band in 2008 and was replaced by Mozgawa.

The band weaves intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals, and driving post-punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between the soundscapes of psychedelia and intimacy. The group has gone through many line-up changes, including actress Shannyn Sossamon and Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.

The Los Angeles band first began on Valentine’s Day 2004 and initially saw childhood friends Kokal and Wayman play with Lindberg and her actress sister Shannyn Sossamon playing drums. The band began work on their first EP in 2007 and featured the talents of Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarists Josh Klinghoffer on drums and mastered by John Frusciante. The six track record Exquisite Corpse was initially self-released by the band in 2008 and quickly shot to #1 in the local Amoeba Records chart. The EP was given an international release by label Manimal Records and made them the new favourite band of critics around the world.

The band signed to Rough Trade and released their debut album The Fool in 2010. Haunting and beguiling, the album is considered a sister record to the previous EP and initial limited editions of the album did also include a copy of Exquisite Corpse. The album saw the band launch into the consciousness of a wider audience and were nominated in the BBC’s poll for the Sound Of 2011.

Ever experimental, their self-titled second album Warpaint saw the band take a new approach to song writing by allowing the music to come naturally through jamming sessions. The 2014 record also began to draw from their wider music interests, such as R&B and hip hop, and saw the inclusion of new sounds from drum machines and synths. This was soon followed by the double A-side single No Way Out/I’ll Start Believing.

The band’s latest release is third album Heads Up. Recorded in LA, it saw Warpaint continue to explore an electronic sound but with more obvious mainstream appeal. The finished result is a well-constructed pop album that pleases their core fan base whilst appealing to the more casual listener.
