Returning from a blinding burst of exposure for their 2010 album The Fool, Warpaint keep things in check on the tightly woven Love Is To Die β the first taste of their upcoming self-titled full-length. The guitar swells into a dreamy wash, lapping over the vibrant rhythm section. The drop into the chorus comes unexpectedly, lifting into a wonderfully disconcerting key. Itβs refreshing to hear the result of a retreat into the intricacies of studio production, rather than aim for pre-packaged festival fare.
