17. Warpaint

17. Warpaint - Warpaint

Another great example of an eponymous album title. This is Warpaint's second album and it came out of collaborative songwriting from this Los Angeles based all girl quartet. Warpaint is Emily Kokal (vocals, guitar), Theresa Wayman (guitar, vocals) and Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass, backing vocals). Stella Mozgawa (drums) joined the band in 2009. Emily and Theresa were childhood friends who had some songs already worked up and Jenny and her sister, Shannyn (who is no longer with the band) had some songs they had already worked up which became their first album The Fool. On this album, they started from the ground up writing as a cohesive unit, which is why they feel this is a true representation of their identity. It's a new direction for them, but this prog based, shoegaze album is perfect in every way.
