By now, Warpaint have been a band for almost twenty years. Originally forming on Valentines Day 2004, and releasing debut EP Exquisite Corpse three years later, the Los Angeles band initially bore similarities with other minimally-minded bands like The xx.

Though the group has gone through multiple evolutions since, stepping off to pursue individual creative threads seems to have kept them energised.
