I'm so grateful From The Basement, Tiny Desk, and KEXP are doing what MTV hasn't done in 30 years. It's good for music. It's good for the world. Thank you.

[@LittleDove2774]

Stella Mozgawa is one of the most underrated drummers in modern drumming.

[@chuuweec.8080]

Underrated comment. She is amongst my favorite drummers ever. She’s got awesome groove..

[@dominodd3879]

Really reminds me of phillip selway… but thats a guitarists perspective! Lmao. To me, she molds my two fav drummers together: Selway and Jason McGer from Death Cab for Cutie.

[@chuuweec.8080]

@@dominodd3879 exactly! That a wonderful example!.. I think “in limbo” off of kid a album is a great showcase of his groove.

[@telsutton]

Clear from the first time I saw her perform with them that she'd elevate Warpaint from 'good' to 'great'. She reminds me of Reni, thinking outside the box, swinging.

[@emirgunes]

i don t think she s underrated, she s playing with one of the greatest bands around today, and she s really young. so much more room to excel!

[@reverb508]

Most underrated rhythm section in modern rock. Stella and Jenny Lee are so damn good.

[@liojc8041]

so true this pair is awful good

[@markozeko7539]

Will there ever be any song without those comments about underrateness??? They are great band and they are alternative music. I dont care about their rating. Probably they dont too. Just keep on doing it girls.

[@reverb508]

@@markozeko7539 I'm sorry my comment bothered you. When I say "underrated" I mean it figuratively. I'm not petitioning for them to be included on some tier list or something. I just think they're really good and more people should know about them.

[@toslinked]

she is highly respected among musicians.

[@lunacarina]

100% ❤

[@bengalatiger]

the bass and drums on this band are underrated.

[@_baalshamin]

Jenny's bass tone is so beautiful. I fell in love with it in 2014 and I'm still in love with it to this day.

[@afxtwinreverb]

I dont think someone can under rate that.

[@Oldshirt]

I've been playing drums for almost 30 years and sat here in awe of the rhythm section. I'm straight humbled by this set.

[@TheCrssouza]

Definitely! Jenny Lee is sooo cool!

[@decoder0802]

"Understated", I believe you mean! 😉 Everyone in the loop knows that this is the best rhythm section working in music today...

[@BlueRidgeJ79]

Such a great group. Just when you think Stella's drumming can't get any tastier...dang. World class.

[@felichagomez]

Jenny is such an underrated bassist. She is incredible. Great taste on notes. Effortlessly in the pocket with Stella.

[@espalier]

PREACH. this video is my first exposure to this band, and on my first time through I didn’t care unless Jenny was playing right then.

[@chadgifford499]

[@johnglaze7882]

Well said sir!

[@hermanhawtrey8578]

Who underrates her? From what I’ve seen she’s a universally liked, admired and respected bass player. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything to suggest she’s underrated.

[@chribjslaha]

Exactly my thoughts. She is so great.

[@yulila9441]

Hard To Tell You live version is soooooooooooooo good, it made me cry. soo beautiful

[@trilliance]

this was seriously MAGICAL. Emily's vocal performance on Hard To Tell You gave me chills.

[@AS-lo6xo]

Great song

[@MariuszWelna]

She really perfected that song during their tour. It's so tricky to sing with lots of long high sustained notes, but holy shit it feels so effortless for Emily now.

[@felipeleon8870]

[@muttakinc2281]

Angelic vocal ability

[@pedro777]

Sitting here with all the hairs on my arms standing up. So beautiful. Insane performance

[@ianfong1000]

Is it just me or has Emily's vocals leveled up big time? Liking the new sound from this band

[@luizspindola]

Big time!! They sound better than ever!

[@AnthonyBatt]

Yeah sounding mature, confident and wonderful. She is a champ

[@racializedkanadian]

It's also very helpful when an engineer knows the best way to EQ your voice. I've never heard their vocals sound so great .... no grating frequencies in the mix. But yeah .... she's actually singing even better as well. anyway kudos to nigel, and of course, to this great band.

[@AnthonyBatt]

@@racializedkanadian totally agree it is a perfect mix.

[@dandon1968]

oof, such a condescending tone for an expression of appreciation

[@grigorismath3852]

It always amazes me how well they complement each other. It's like Emily is the melody, Theresa is the harmony, Jenny Lee is the rhythm, Stella is the glue that holds it all together.

[@Bananenbennie]

Stella is so amazing

[@horsezanthus5040]

The engineers have done a spectacular job. Sounds mint. Blessings from London.

[@brentcrude8565]

Well, that's the genius of Nigel Godrich for you.

[@patsarabia7674]

Stella's playing is right in between genius and practicality ... and that is her genius

[@GreatistheWorld]

YES

[@2ndMOUSEofficial]

I can't fathom how anyone can be that co-ordinated....to the point where all 4 limbs are independent of each other. I have trouble doing that thing where you pat your head and rub circles on your stomach, but being able to see her precision and expertise from some great camera angles that you'd never normally see when a drummer is at the back of the stage, is such a great insight into how she is constantly switching it up and being inventive with every fill, every little triplet. Mindblowing to be able to watch so closely.

[@yamanosuke11]

​@@2ndMOUSEofficial ❤

[@Christopher_175]

Em and T harmonising at 12:45 is so beautiful

[@zachm3264]

Good ass drumming. Drum sound is on point too

[@droops63]

Normally I lock in on Stella's and Jenny's work. But I am obsessed with "Hard to Tell You" and Emily's vocals. Her work on that song is beyond stunning. Watching her expressions and movements gives it even more meaning and feeling. The entire set is great, but that one song is soul-wrenchingly glorious.

[@massiah09]

I've enjoyed every minute of the 20 years with you wonderful ladies. Thank you for your music.

[@haikalemir3623]

The Basement, KEXP, and Tiny Desk are my source of happiness that other platforms couldn't

[@morior3027]

I can't believe the original "warpaint" sound is still there... after 6 years, they're REALLY here! A lot have changed, we have another mommy in the band! The sound hits you from the 1st song of the album! When I herd it for the 1st time, I was doing some computer hardware stuff I think, and at minute 3:32 I remember my self leaving what I was doing and rush in front of the speakers turning the volume up... and then comes the echos, and that continues bass from Jenny and the sound gets bigger and bigger until you become 1 with the space and universe... I closed my eyes, and thats where I was, swear I was sober too!

[@Milklatte]

Who is the new Mom?! Is the baby the one showing up at the opening?

[@verminj]

@@Milklatte Emily had a baby in 2020. That’s her little girl in the beginning.

[@Oldshirt]

One of the best rhythm sections on Earth right now.

[@shorthopedc]

A rare example of a guitar band that has evolved their sound without putting down their guitars. So subtle, so much attention to groove.

[@dancemusicforoldpeople]

On Point

[@trilliance]

i couldnt describe this better.

[@tape8084]

the sound engineer is a king

[@multiversechorus]

[@soniaseguz]

I can't believe how good this is, they've mastered that deep, strong, detailed sound.

[@Hasief]

Four of the coolest people to ever be in a band together. Such great musicians, such wonderful chemistry.

[@MP-zf7kg]

The best thing about youtube is you can watch these women over their long careers....they've done things right, in my opinion.

[@MariuszWelna]

What a fucking treasure. I have no words!!!!

From the Basement to Heaven! :3

[@amonymouss]

Why aren't they spotlighted everywhere, like boygenius is? Publicist power? Agent-itis? This band is so much better and has an incredible back catalogue.

[@richardu]

Viewing from a completely gender neutral perspective, they are for sure underrated. They should be Bon Iver tier.

[@JayPhonomancer]

So glad to see all the love for Stella in the comments including from people hearing Warpaint for the first time. Not to ignore the rest of the band at all. They really are a perfect harmonious unit. I saw them a few months ago in Dublin and honestly wish I could go see them 2 or 3 times a year every year.

[@oldschool8432]

I have never seen them live but would love to. I first heard them here like 9yrs ago. They did love is to die an I feel in love

[@debee1544]

No way..totally missed that one didn't hear about where did they play in Dublin

[@JayPhonomancer]

@debee1544 They played the National Stadium back in May last year, which is longer ago than I realised! I saw them in Vicar St when they toured the 3rd album and in Tripod back around the time of the first album. I really wish they would play here more often though!

[@luistiago5121]

That ending to Bees was so awesome. I could listen to a whole album of that

Saw the trailer, never heard of them so I clicked on another video, didn't like it. Saw the notification and thought. " why not ? " - so glad I came back ! A testament to the musicians and the FTB crew.

[@SUBCIETYmusic]

How are they just the most amazing band ever 😭 I've been listening to them for 12 years now & they have never disappointed 💛

[@luisignaciomerchanrosero7724]

Stella is a machine! Love you all, girls. Thanks for making this happen.

[@verminj]

On my 3rd listen and must comment on how strong Emily’s vocals have gotten the last few years. Very underrated vocalist in general, but also an underrated member of the band. I’m glad to see her finally get recognized for her talent. She sounds incredible. That said, the entire band is really locked in. Just saw them this past weekend and it’s the best they’ve ever sounded and that’s saying a lot, it was my 15th show!

[@bartezu666]

wow, 15 is really something. and I agree, Emily sounds great (seen them in may) and probably better then ever

[@MariuszWelna]

@@imperthnthn Before Warpaint she had a band called "Little Twos". Check it out.

[@ronls3578]

I couldn't agree with you more, Jamie !

[@johnsummers9660]

Emily and Theresa obviously used the last 4-5 years to work with a vocal coach. That's not a diss. They sound incredible. They both used to flat notes on the regular but that's clearly not a problem now. I love Warpaint!

[@paulperkins1615]

I noticed the flatting out of notes in old videos but my guess is they did it on purpose (at least some of the time) to sound punk-y. But I agree, they sound better than ever here. I heard an interview where Stella said that because of COVID, Emily and Theresa ended up getting more time to work on the vocal tracks for Radiate Like This than on previous albums. They might have learned something in the process.

[@jjmalaprop9968]

I’m 56-yo and an unabashed Stan. They are such a mood. Great musicians that compliment each other so, so well. When the music - and the performance, for that matter - sounds this good, it makes the wait between releases worth every minute. ❤️

[@Cocolito791]

Their cohesiveness is pure gold ✨

[@Oldshirt]

A lot of bands, even *good bands*, could grind for days in studio track by track and not get takes this clean. This set is truly something special.

[@bryanweidler8992]

I'm 48 and heard a crap-ton of music in every genre from baroque pop to nu metal to just plain baroque. This band can cross genres and compete with most anyone even if the genre isn't their strong point. Psychedelic jazzy jams, R&B, hints of trip hop, raggae, blues, , plain hip hop, prog rock, art rock, dream pop (shrimp gumbo, shrimp scampi...). Diverse, versatile, dreamy, and keeping me from getting my work done right now.

[@diffsiuhgr4578]

Best version of Keep it Healthy ever 🥺🥺🥺

[@2ndMOUSEofficial]

I agree. Theresa's guitar was amazing. It felt more soulful, and as much as I love the album version, this version was better

[@leareid5027]

Thank you so much Warpaint and From The Basement for this! Fantastic! I am 66 years old and these girls are the music of my soul. I love them so much and they keep getting better! Please girls, never stop making music. You are brilliant stars in the sky! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
