Los Angeles quartet Warpaint came up in the male-dominated era of early 2000s indie rock, and from the beginning, they cut through the noise with a distinctive DIY mentality and melody-driven songwriting that leaned into dream pop, post-punk and art rock. Though the band was initially formed in 2004, it was their eponymous sophomore album, released 2014, that marked their rise to prominence. In 2022, Warpaint appeared on WePresent as part of From The Basement, a series of live sessions produced with Nigel Godrich.
