Warpaint and Daughter makes a pretty good match: the moody, punchy attitude of the former meets up with the moody, airy temperament of the latter, and you end up with a pretty good remix. The two bands have announced that they will rework each other’s tracks on a new split for Record Store Day 2015. The first of these two remixes is Warpaint’s take on Daughter’s If You Leave track “Winter,” and the L.A. band adds some smoky instrumentation and a heightened sense of urgency to the sleepy original.

 

Los Angeles indie quartet Warpaint and UK folk outfit Daughter have joined forces for a new 12-inch single in which they’ll be remixing one another’s tracks. Due out on Record Store Day 2015, its previewed today with Warpaint’s contribution, a reimagining of Daughter’s 2013 If You Leave highlight, “Winter”.

 

As previously reported, having always held mutual admiration from afar, Warpaint and Daughter have done one-off remixes of one another’s work. Having shared Warpaint’s remix of “Winter” by Daughter last week, today they unveil the second track from their remix collaboration, Daughter’s remix of “Feeling Alright” by Warpaint. The two tracks will be sold as a super-limited edition 12″ EP, available exclusively as part of Record Store Day 2015.

Warpaint and Daughter have teamed up to reimagine each other’s work.  Check out part 1 – “Winter” (Warpaint Remix) above – and watch this space this time next week for part two! Both remixes are being made into a super limited edition 12” EP, which will be available exclusively as part of Record Store Day 2015.

 

 

Atmosphere is Warpaint’s stock in trade. Each of their songs, no matter how intricately written, is bathed in a chilly glow. The ambiance is intoxicating. But after the effects-laden trip of their debut album The Fool, Warpaint allowed some of that hallucinatory mist to dissipate on their sophomore, self-titled album. It’s still an enchanting and beautiful piece of music, but the Los Angeles quartet hones in on some of the finer details of their melodies, be it on the intricate, folky sound of “Keep It Healthy,” the sparse and beat-driven approach of “Hi,” or the haunting synth-throbs of “Biggy.” In context, the change in the band’s sound that has occurred over the past four years has been a gradual and minimal one, but on Warpaint, a little goes a long way.

Kurt Vile joined Warpaint on stage last night (November 7) during their encore at the Echoplex in Los Angeles.

Taking to guitar, Vile sang backup vocals on ‘Baby’, a track from the girls’  2010 debut album ‘The Fool’. The show was part of Red Bull Sound Select’s 30 Days In LA concert series, which Vile himself will be playing later in the month.
