Warpaint return with two new tracks, 'Common Blue' and 'Underneath', to mark their 20th anniversary.
Emerging from the creative chrysalis, Warpaint release single 'Common Blue' on 14 February. Their first new material in two years, the four-piece mark 20 years as a band by reuniting with Rough Trade, the label behind their debut and creative home for most of their existence. Emotionally taking flight through Warpaint's innate sense of wonderment, 'Common Blue' marries an earthy groove with a fluttering melody that beguilingly evokes the ornate yet tender butterflies that enchant Warpaint's single.
The 7-inch is backed by 'Underneath', which floats around an intoxicating acoustic riff with illusive emotions and fleeting feelings.
Quote from Warpaint:
Today we celebrate 20 years of sisterhood and music! On this day Feb, 14 2004, Warpaint was born in a small studio on Fairfax Blvd in Los Angeles. And here we are 20 years later, still making music together!! With these new songs - 'Common Blue' and 'Underneath' - we tie a bow around this time in our lives and all the experiences and songs we’ve shared over the years.
It makes us smile to release them in collaboration with friends and family at Rough Trade, it feels like a perfect return to where it all began!
Thank u so much for riding our sound waves! it’s been an incredible journey and taken us all over the world sharing good times with beautiful people. Our hearts are full!!
