Grade: B
Continuing the band’s talent of producing indie dream pop, Warpaint has once again delivered a quality record with the group’s sophomore self-titled release. Vocalists Emily Kokel and Theresa Wayman’s tones are devastatingly haunting as ever, and with help of backup vocalist Jenny Lee Lindberg, the band seemingly sings its way into the abyss, with each song gently melding into the next. While the lyrical content of the record isn’t anything to write home about (the album mostly consists of typical Warpaint content: love and sorrow, sometimes both), the fine melodic tune of the music is enough to make up for it. An album meant to be played from start to finish, “Warpaint” makes for an excellent late night study record or a welcome addition to a long drive.
