Warpaint - No Way Out (Redux)
The first release from “a series of new songs being released this year,” shows Warpaint at their most experimental and assured.
Keen-eared Warpaint gig-goers might recognise ‘No Way Out (Redux)’ - it has already become a staple of the band’s live show. A murky, meandering jam dragged out of the depths of a muddy, lethargic swamp, stamping bass drums urge Warpaint’s beast forward, while fidgeting snares claw and grab at each plodding progression. Unhinged tension dominates, and it’s never clear where where Warpaint are going to take the jam next. It’s a trademark flourish that the band perfected last year on their self-titled second album.
Remember those Windows 98 screensavers that went continually took you around low-resolution brick mazes, turning dizzying new corners, spinning round in dead ends, and never getting to the middle? That’s the kind of pace that Warpaint capture on ‘No Way Out (Redux)’, their own centreless maze. Journeying from flat-to-the-floor ‘Blue Monday’ type rhythms, to intergalactic synth-hazes and frank admissions - “I thought I was done with you, I thought I was strong, I guess I was wrong” - this first release from “a series of new songs being released this year,” shows Warpaint at their most experimental and assured.
