Warpaint talk plans for upcoming album

Warpaint revealed that they are planning to strip down their sound for their forthcoming album.

Over the past few months of touring, the four-piece from LA said they have been coming up with ideas for the follow-up to their 2010 debut ‘The Fool’ while on the road.

Guitarist Theresa Wayman said in an interview with NME:

"We’re all meditating on it [the second album] everyday. Somebody will make up something while we're soundchecking and we'll be like, 'Don’t forget that because I really want to develop that, there's something special there.'"

The band said they are hoping to go more acoustic for the next record and are planning to write the album in full in the autumn before heading into the studio to record it in the early part of 2012.

Wayman said: "It’s sounding quite minimal so far which is interesting because it's the opposite of what we've been doing which is normally pretty complex. I think it'll be interesting to try and simplify that and we should experiment more with some acoustic guitars. It would be fun to have different percussive instruments in there too. We have never had something as simple as a tambourine in any of our songs so I'm looking forward to that."
