I was stumbling through one of my favorite blogs, that of graphic designer / ambient music maestro Scott Hansen (also known as Tycho for his music) the ISO50 blog, and came across something I couldn’t ignore. I’ve mentioned him and his blog multiple times in my posts, I tend to find a lot of good music from it.

Warpaint is a 4 piece “psychadelic” group, which I would personally label as “experimental” if you could label it at all. I guess those sometimes have the same meaning anyways, so I won’t harp. But, this band, is literally amazing. I think something along the lines of Portishead mixed with Sonic Youth. All 3 of the females in the band do vocals, which make their sound big and broad but with such a delicate touch. They have this big low end swell but with perfect notes over it to make it nice and slow and dreamy. Plus, these girls vocals together just take you to a different place. The one that caught me is titled “Billie Holiday” off their album “Exquisite Corpse“. So sick.

I’m gonna drop 3 songs, listen to all of them. Also gonna post up tour dates, just in case your city is gettin’ lucky. Really good music. Enjoy.
