American indie-rock band Warpaint were formed on Valentine’s Day 2004. The original lineup consisted of childhood friends Theresa Wayman and Emily Kokal alongside sisters Jenny Lee Lindberg and Shannyn Sossamon. Now, 10 years on, and with the only personnel change being Australian Stella Mogzawa taking over from Sossaman on the drums, Warpaint late last year released their third studio album Heads Up. Describing the new album prior to the recording sessions, drummer Mozgawa said her rhythms were “a little more dancey” and “a little higher on the BPM scale” in comparison to Warpaint’s earlier material. Kokal further described the album’s rhythms as “dancier, faster and fun,” noting that Heads Up best captured the “spirit” of the band’s live performances. About the upcoming dates in Japan Jenny Lee Lindberg stated that “It’s such a magical place, the people are so loving and such lovers of music and art in ways I’ve haven’t seen much before, or at least not on that scale. Cannot wait to be there and play!”
