celebrated L.A. quartet Warpaint shares the video for their track, “Hips,” directed by Jim Hosking—watch it here. The track is taken from Warpaint’s first album in six years, Radiate Like This, out now.
“’Hips’ has a scuttling intensity to it,” Hosking says. “It sounds like someone desperately trying to find something. Or at least that’s what it seemed to me. I listened to it repeatedly and kept seeing women desperately searching for each other in a seaside town. Ideas present themselves and it’s not about logic or reason, it’s about emotion. And here the emotion suggested identically dressed women finding each other in an old seaside town in England called Southend On Sea. “
“We are thrilled to share this strange and beautiful video for ‘Hips’ from the brilliant mind of Jim Hoskins,” the band says. “Give it a watch.”
The band is currently on the Radiate Like This Tour, which picks back up in North America tonight at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California following a run of European dates—see full routing below and purchase tickets here. Goldensuns and JennyLee will support on upcoming dates.
