Video of the Week - Warpaint - 'Undertow'

Warpaint is a female experimental art rock group from Los Angeles formed in 2004. The group has gone through many lineup changes, including actress Shannyn Sossamon and current Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. They released their debut EP, Exquisite Corpse in 2009 and released their full length album, entitled The Fool on 25 October 2010.

The Fool by Warpaint is by far one of the best albums you are likely to hear this year, and it's their debut full length feature. The depth and texture of 10 tracks are fabulously both complex and simple in equal measure, almost instantly likeable but multifaceted at the same time. What you heard first time around only becomes amplified and enhanced by discovery of new, often very subtle, layers that build up to make each track a perfectly packaged slice of slightly folksy Indie, or Art-Rock/Psychedelic.

'Undertow', in my opinion, is one of the best tracks from the album (of which I will soon provide a full review of). Enjoy!
