Warpaint
The Fool (Deluxe Edition)
Rough Trade
★★★★★★★½☆☆
With a name that carries certain connotations, Warpaint are not a death metal band, nor some kind of 80’s agit-punk band (imagine that, a tough-talking name taken by a bunch of girls more likely to smother you in reverb than impale you on the necks of their guitars). Such things should be clear by now. Since the release of their debut album The Fool last October, these four ladies have been a ubiquitous presence on stages worldwide and on the lips of those who’ve fallen under their spell.
There will be those who’s first introduction to the band was via their Exquisite Corpse EP, which was self-released in 2008 and then re-released worldwide in 2009. The haunting folk-tinged lament “Billie Holiday” would become Warpaint’s calling card, with the band eventually signing to Rough Trade to release their debut LP. Brief recorded history lesson over.
With The Fool nearly celebrating its one year birthday, it’s now been paired it up with Exquisite Corpse as ‘Deluxe Edition’ featuring a previously released Neon Lights remix of “Shadows” (one of the better Warpaint remixes to appear thus far) and a tweaked version of “Billie Holiday” by Pulp bassist/producer Steve Mackey. Such releases are usually extraneous, but if you didn’t pick up Exquisite Corpse the first time round, it’s an essential piece of the Warpaint puzzle and indicative of the sound they would explore and embellish on The Fool.
What Warpaint aspire to and achieve is to create a mood and use their instruments as a paddle, to creating ripples that rise and reverberate, with their sound veering from the overlapping harmonies and textured guitar interplay (“Stars”, “Undertow”) to the intensely focussed rhythm section that ducks and dives like a boxer tripping on acid (“Composure”, “Beetles”). The loose jammy structures that pervade Exquisite Corpse show Warpaint’s modus operandi and their unconventional sense of writing pop music with a dub reggae sensibility that sounds like The Cure shadowing Adrian Sherwood’s New Age Steppers. If you were to ask Warpaint how they write music, I’d be surprised if their answer was nothing more than a shrug and a “…it just happens”.
A year later and The Fool remains an inspiring and mesmerising debut release and well worth the attention brought to it. In combining there two recordings, Warpaint have drawn a neat line across the first arc of their career as we all sit back to watch what happens next. Artificial academy character maker english.

Trinity admin addon 4.0.6. Aunque vivan en una cueva sin acceso a internet, probablemente han oído de este cuarteto de chicas proveniente de Los Ángeles (ya que le abrieron a The XX en su gira) esta banda de art rock sorprende por su mezcla de shoegaze y post punk, que destila un hermoso un sonido pop atmosférico, en parte oscuro y gótico, en parte femenino y sofisticado. Temas como Undertow, Shadows o Majesty dejan oir destellos de brillantéz (no pocos a lo largo de los 47 minutos de duración), perfecto para disfrutar un domingo lluvioso en compañía de tu pareja, mientras están echados en la cama ya que es un disco que enamora conforme a las escuchas desde mi punto de vista de lo mejorcito del año pasado.
Simplemente relájense, bajen el disco, disfruten y comenten!
Warpaint - The Fool (deluxe Album)
The track is mixed by Pulp bassist Steve Mackey and is a complete re-working of the original version from the band's debut EP Exquisite Corpse, produced by John Frusciante (ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers). This new version of 'Billie Holiday' will appear on the band's deluxe album (also out on 19th Sept). The album consists of their current album The Fool, Exquisite Corpse and various remixes. Why did they have to in-effect EDIT and (what sounds like poorly) REMIX Billie Holiday?

Warpaint The Fool Deluxe Rar
Who is this Steve Mackey and what gave him the brilliant idea to do this? Dean serial number lookup. A friend of the bands? Dizzee Rascal Tongue N Cheek Rar Download. As that description says, he plays for the band Pulp. Yeah, I'm sure they do a lot of mixing of mellotrons in that band, lol.
This 'deluxe' edition, I probably will pick up, but it reeks of another case of a record label trying to Milk something good until it becomes overdone. Something special, becomes less special. Sometimes, it's best to just to leave things alone *shrug*.
