Over the course of two albums and an EP, L.A.’s Warpaint have gained a stature as mystical art-rock goddesses, but they apparently aren’t above relationship problems. The new song “No Way Out (Redux)” is a dark lament about feeling trapped and not being able “to take the fallout.” The band —  Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass/vocals), Theresa Wayman (guitar/vocals) and Stella Mozgawa (drums) — posted the track to YouTube, saying it was “the first in a series of new songs being released this year.” The quartet’s sophomore album, a self-titled affair, came out last January.
