Radiate Like This Deluxe Yellow Vinyl

ldquoRadiate Like Thisrdquo Warpaintrsquos much anticipated new record, not to mention their first in almost 6 years arrives with its own very modern mythology intact, continuing the strange, brilliant, beautiful story of the band and quite neatly picking up where ldquoHeads Uprdquo left off. If the previous album was the coming of age, ldquoRadiate Like Thisrdquo presents Warpaint mk II in all their glory, a luminous coalescence of sound and vision which stubbornly belies its genesis, with the quartet of Kokal, Theresa Wayman, Stella Mozgawa and Jenny Lee Lindberg all recording their parts separately in various cities. ldquoItrsquos the first time wersquove ever made an album like that, but in a weird way, it made us take our time with everythingrdquo, muses Kokal. ldquoThe process felt more meditative, less rushedrdquo. This new sense of quiet confidence can be heard all through the album, in the hushed, slow build of first single ldquoChampionrdquo the beguiling push pull of ldquoProofrdquo, the delicate intricacy and complexity of tracks like ldquoMeltingrdquo and the winking ldquoSend Nudesrdquo. Itrsquos an album that pulsates with ideas, energy and most crucially ndash gorgeous melodies. Listen on in wonder.
