iTunes Review
Warpaint’s sessions for Rough Trade culminate in this release, which includes five audio selections and one video. These are live-in-the-studio versions of songs from the band's 2010 debut album, The Fool, save for the two opening songs. This version of “Billie Holiday” (originally from Warpaint's 2009 Beautiful Corpse EP) plays nearly identically, except here the vocal performances are more up close and personal; it sounds like the female quartet is giving the listener a private serenade. “Burgundy” resonates clearer than its original counterpart, with crisper singing and a minimal approach making a more haunting rendition. “Majesty” plays with fewer bells and whistles than the album version, but what the song lacks in digital effects it makes up with complex vocal arrangements and intimacy. This version of “Composure” puts the peripheral backing vocals upfront before the song shifts gears, resonating with mysterious post-goth pop reminiscent of the first two This Mortal Coil albums.
Customer Reviews
Love!
Just simply magnificent band
Awesome loved it<3
Love tha new songs
Refreshing new sound, lacking full-length production
Kudos to Rough Trade Records for releasing a live album by one of my favorite bands, as Warpaint's live performances are just as good, maybe even better than their album versions of their songs. Their ability to embody energy and vulnerability at the same time is captivating to me. I argue that this album would've been noted as five stars if they had included the track 'Jubilee', as I can not get my hands on this song anywhere, and also given that Warpaint typically performs this song live, yet we have not yet seen it released formally other than a rare demo release.
