Warpaint are pleased to announce their third studio album, Heads Up which will be released via Rough Trade Records on September 23rd 2016. The band premiere the first track called ‘New Song’ which is streamable here: http://smarturl.it/NewSongStream
Heads Up was recorded after the band spent 2015 apart working on solo projects. Reuniting in January this year, the band started to work with producer Jacob Bercovici, whom they had worked on their debut EP, Exquisite Corpse.
The album was recorded in House on The Hill Studio in downtown LA, as well as Papap’s Palace and their own home studios. For the first time ever, the group recorded in pairs and alone rather than as a full band.
‘The doors were a little more open in terms of what was accepted and what wasn’t, because we were sharing ideas so rapidly between us” says the band drummer Stella Mozgawa of the recording process. “The roles that each of us individually had — or had established — were a little more malleable.”
“Everybody was allowed to have their space, time and creative freedom with songs and figure out, ‘I wonder what the best notes would be? I wonder what the best would be to play?” says bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg “Everybody got to sit and go, “What do I want to do to this? What’s my part? What’s My Role? How can I make it the best?”
“I Feel really proud of what we made – almost surprised,” says Lindberg “When we were making it, I was like “I wonder what this is going to sound like? How’s this going to come together so nicely? I feel so proud of it, and like like its an evolution of our band, It sounds like a mature version of Warpaint”
