“Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free; that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve.”

my mama didn't raise no fool


I played Warpaint's "Billie Holiday" on a loop during the summer of 2009. Something about their brand of L.A. girl group gone listless folkie really resonated with me. It was this song that seemed like a combination of Shannon Stephens "In Summer in the Heat" and "Glamorous" by Fergie (yeah. i know). Peep their contribution to the Soundies series below, and maybe you'll get an idea of what I mean. Sure it's raining and they're bundled up in sweatshirts, but I'm breaking out in a sweat, you know?

Anyway, they're back with a new single off their upcoming album "The Fool" and it's a jam. Credit to the always reliable Mixtape Maestro for turning me on to it.
