The underwater scenes in director Ted Newsome’s spectacular video for Warpaint’s signature song, “Warpaint,” make a perfect fit for the tune’s otherworldy textures. Or, as drummer Stella Mogzama told NPR when the video was premiered on Thursday: “It was an opportunity to create a fantastical world where oxygen, time and style were simply not an issue.” The piece was filmed in an Echo Park pool, which, this afternoon, sounds pretty inviting.
