Pretty! Warpaint debuts the video for “Elephants”

More former Eugeneans turned Los Angelenos are doing nifty things. This time, it’s the women of Warpaint, who debuted a new video yesterday.

As the press release explains, “The video was shot with the song sped up and then the visuals slowed down to match the song’s original tempo to a dramatic effect.” I can’t say it’s the greatest video of all time, but it does give a nifty sense of the feeling of seeing Warpaint live, where there’s something drifty and gauzy about the experience even when the music is moving swiftly along.

The quartet is currently in the studio recording their debut full-length, and they’re soon heading out on tour with Akron/Family. Alas, they’re straying no further west than Texas this time around.
