For their latest video release (directed by Laban Pheidas), the LA band Warpaint chose an interesting concept: featuring two songs in a row (“Disco/Very” and “Keep It Healthy”) with a connecting theme: skateboarding.
Slowing all the visuals down creates the right feel for the slower, sonic sound of Warpaint, whose singing style and the effects put on the women’s voices are the reasons why I’ve liked this band so much from the get-go.
“Disco/Very” has the kind of catchy melody that to me evokes memories of my favorite song by them, “Undertow”, and also seems to reveal some MIA influences.
