It's been a hefty amount of time since we've heard from LA's Warpaint—their third and latest album Heads Up was released back in 2016. But today the quartet has shared that they're releasing a new album called Radiate Like This on May 6. The announcement from Emily Kokal, Jenny Lee Lindberg, Stella Mozgawa, and Theresa Wayman comes with the first single, "Champion."
"Being a champion to oneself and for others,” the band said of the breezy, hi-def dream-pop single. “We are all in this together, life is too short not to strive for excellence in all that we do.”
Radiate Like This was in the works pre-pandemic after tracking the songs' skeletons with co-producer Sam Petts-Davies. After lockdown took hold, the band built the layers of each track with all the members recording their parts separately.
