WARM DRAG SHARE NEW VIDEO "SLEEPOVER"
ON TOUR NOW: LA, NYC, PHL, CHICAGO & MORE
S/T DEBUT OUT NOW ON IN THE RED

| Directed By R.C. Simpson |
Warm Drag stun with new video "Sleepover". Brooklyn Vegan debuted it describing the
duo's sound as "cinematic... pulling from Italian soundtracks, freak-beat, krautrock, psych and more." "Sleepover" recounts Paul's morbid, real life story of when he found a Craigslist renter dead in his apartment after overdosing on Dust-off. Sang as a love song, "Sleepover" shifts from a tender lullaby, into a spaced out, noisy solo.
Warm Drag's debut (out now on In The Red) marries Vashti's love for the genre-defying genius of Blondie's 'Parallel Lines' to Paul's love of Bomb Squad's production styles. Vashti sings, the way Siouxsie sang power, the way Nico sang allure, the way Patti sang sex. Paul makes the noise with two Akai MPC 1000 samplers. Beats that pummel or seduce, usually simultaneously, synths that soar like Morricone or pump like DAF, and gloriously twangy guitars that clang and echo like Duane Eddy spiraling down a k-hole. Read more about the duo, the album's concepts and creation in their recent PAPER feature here.

"they've perfected their own style-one that is best served full-blast while speeding through the desert" PAPER

HYPE MACHINE
"they're a cinematic, freak-beat, kraut-rockin' psych-out that refuses to be pigeonhole"
BROOKLYN VEGAN
"slinks out of the gate, coating everything in its path with an ooze of psychedelic excess and basement lounge sex appeal"
RAVEN SINGS THE BLUES

"my bonus Playlist pick this week"
THE NEW YORK TIMES' CARYN GANZ
"Their cut-up collage of electronic stomp-music embodied everything people were searching for that summer. There were just two of them but the sound was magnificent. Vashti was a revelation and Paul looked tough and cool and preoccupied in just the right way."
