37. Warpaint - Elephants



One of the brightest and most talked about bands of the new decade. Warpaint are an all girl group formed 6 years ago but were yet to release anything until last year’s debut EP “Exquisite Corpse,” from this the single Elephants was released. With a sparse wave of sound, similar to the of last year’s surprise hit The XX. Lead singer Emily Kokal’s siren like voice sits so brilliantly on the distant sounding drums and dreamlike guitar. The sound gradually builds and builds until the guitars begin to screech and Emily’s voice begins to ghostly woo over the top. The sound never overpowers the song itself, everything gel’s together perfectly and with this Warpaint more than justify the hype that’s been surrounding them. Their albums not bad either.
