The all girl psychedelic delight, Warpaint, with their calming voices and trippy but yet rather soothing instrumentals, their music is wonderful, for when one is having downtime or you just want to close your eyes and absorb the music. This band's music is great for that,I came across this group last year summer, and I've been hooked ever since, they had a show with The XX, a very good British band, with similar music to Warpaint, I didn't go to the show but I decided to check out the bands on the lineup, which were Zola Jesus and Warpaint. So I heard Warpaint and I was immediately blown away by them, the first song I heard was Elephants and I was in love, that has alot of their psychedelic element in it, and it totally put me in a trance, then I heard Billie Holiday, which is a bit more soulful and blues element to it. There's a version of them singing Billie Holiday a cappella and it just shows their true talent. Those were from their 1st EP, Exquisite Corpse, their latest release was their 1st LP, The Fool, filled with all brilliant tracks, they have their psychedelic tracks like Shadows, Bees and Composure and the more soulful ones like Baby and Lissie's Heart Murmur.
Good music they are making, and they are getting the recognition deserved as they were on BBC's Sound of 2011 list

Listen to their music on their website and here's something to show you that they are worth checking out
