LA residents, Warpaint, just finished up their first EP, Exquisite Corpse, released by themselves. I'm not sure where to find it but have picked up this single, "Billy Holiday". These girls have a beautiful, slightly gritty, pop essence surrounding them, which kind of reminds me of my first reaction to Cat Power. Yet unlike Cat Power there are three of them with Dave Orlando ("King David") on drums. With all girls singing the song is filled out completely with beautiful, intertwining harmonies. You will be able to catch them at the Echo's Part Time Punks Festival on November 16th.
