No, but they've changed up their website for the first time in two years and it reads "Coming Soon"

Sounds like a good sign to me... maybe later this year or early next year, then?

Not sure how I missed this. Not too bad. I'm unfamiliar with the original. Even if they're not really the featured artists, it's cool to see them backing these two on vocals.

Rough Trade is excited to announce Warpaint’s new self-titled album, set for release on 20th January 2014. ‘Warpaint’ is the follow-up to the LA four-piece’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Fool’ (2010). ‘Warpaint’ was co-produced by Warpaint and Flood (PJ Harvey, Sigur Ros, New Order, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Foals), and mixed by Flood and Nigel Godrich (Radiohead).

Hear a track from the LP, "Love Is to Die", below, and watch a teaser for the album directed by music video luminary Chris Cunningham. He also designed the cover art, above. Cunningham filmed and photographed the album recording process over the course of two years.

Super into this. I was a hesitant at first, because sounds like they went through something different in the songwriting process from the last two records, but my reservations fell away after a few listens. Hope the album has more guitars on it though. Really into these guys as a guitar band. When they resurface at the end, they sound like something straight off of Disintegration. Jenny Lee Lindberg's bass sounds great, like really well-defined and up front.

I'm not really latching onto this one. I like the fuzzy synth bass, but other than that, it just kinda plods along.

the beat is so '90s (which i've been hearing coming back lately, but idk).
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 6 December 2013 15:45 (ten years ago) link
ie the part of trip-hop that it's best to leave behind
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 6 December 2013 15:46 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, it definitely has an unremarkable 90s feel. But it's track 5 on the album, so maybe it's like a palate cleanser of some sort.
― how's life, Friday, 6 December 2013 16:06 (ten years ago) link
Seems like a weird choice to throw out there ahead of release date though.
― how's life, Friday, 6 December 2013 16:07 (ten years ago) link
I like it. But I have to be in a warpaint mood to listen to it, and that involves a lot of alcohol.

I think this record is going to sound a lot like Slowdive's "Sing"

Not sure if Biggy is different on the album than on the leak, but I like it better in context. Disco/Very is pretty great. So far really into this.

Gorgeous, subtly unsettling stuff here. I'm really going to enjoy this album if I remember to return to it.

This is a great album. Can't wait to own it on vinyl.

So this is basically what I imagine Savages might sound like when they grow up. Something very Too Pure about it.

First album I'm really enjoying this year. They have this great balance of having obvious reference points but mix them in a way so it doesn't matter, at least to me.

I get the same kind of vibe from Warpaint as I do from early Verve... in the sense that my preferred listening mode for them is lights off, headphones on, horizontal, relax and just focus on nothing else. New album is no exception.
― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Saturday, 18 January 2014 12:45 (ten years ago) link
A couple of things:
1. The album is definitely frontloaded to my ears. I don't think the album really keeps up the momentum of the first 7 tracks, although 'Drive' is definitely one of my favourite things on here.
2. 'Go In' strikes me as being the weakest track here. It's the one track on the album which I'm struggling to care for, and might rank as one of the weakest things Warpaint have ever recorded.
3. The 10th track is called 'CC', meaning that on the track listing, it's listed as '10. CC'... is this some kind of witty pun/in-joke on the band of the same name?
Overall though, I'm liking this record more than their first one, and I liked that one plenty enough!
― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Saturday, 18 January 2014 14:52 (ten years ago) link
had a quick listen to the stream, gonna get proper copy as that only revealed.... it's gonna take a lot more listens (like the first). Do hope it's a grower,I couldn't love them more based on their past stuff.
