Warpaint is an all-female ambient rock four-piece from LA formed on Valentine's Day 2004. The band is currently composed of Emily Kokal, Theresa Wayman, Jenny Lee Lindberg and Stella Mozgawa and has gone through many lineup changes, including actress Shannyn Sossamon and Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.

The recording of debut EP Exquisite Corpse began in December 2007. The sessions took place over two months and were mixed and mastered by former Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist John Frusciante. Warpaint self released the EP in 2008 and the album was re-released on CD in 2009.

Shortly afterward they were signed to Rough Trade and immediately began extensive touring throughout the US and Europe including an opening slot for The xx.

On October 25th the quartet released their full length album, The Fool.
