Warpaint are my new favourite band as of today, or my favourite new band. I read a reference to them somewhere over the weekend, can't remember where, and had a look on Youtube. Three girls from Los Angeles who play beautiful, fluid guitar music, lots of post-punk influences, with not a little melodrama. As far as I can tell they've released one e.p., and have their debut out on Rough Trade in the Autumn. The video for this one, Elephants, is on Youtube, and is top stuff- if three dark-haired indie girls playing guitars, dancing under dramatic lighting, with a wind machine, in slow motion appeals to you at all.
