It’s been a minute, Warpaint. Never ones to work quickly, the L.A. quartet of singer-guitarists Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman, bassist-singer Jenny Lee Lindberg and drummer Stella Mozgawa were around several years before their first EP (2008) and finally released their widely praised full-length “The Fool” three years ago this month. Today Warpaint announced that their second album, a self-titled affair, would be out on Jan. 21. They worked with studio heayweights Flood and Nigel Godrich on the album, and the teaser single, “Love Is to Die,” finds Warpaint in their zone – engaging in a sonic tug-of-war between anxious and dreamy, restrained yet tense.
