right on!

Rough Trade

On her first solo record, Jenny Lee Lindberg of Warpaint takes the hazier, groove-ridden constituent of her band’s sound and drives it further into the night time, taking her earlier post-punk influences as a reference point. “Never” dares to place a heady, psychedelic soundscape atop its machine-like drumming reminiscent of New Order’s Stephen Morris, whereas the uneasiness of “riot” draws from The Cure’s more sinister cuts. The early Warpaint sound that so many miss stretches across the record, maturing perhaps more organically than the band’s transition into a festival-topping act allowed. Right on! captures that nostalgia, and rarely, if ever, sounds dated. (www.facebook.com/jennylee.right.on)
