Recent Rough Trade addition War Paint have put together a video for one of their tracks off of the recently released and rather fantastic John Frusciante-produced 'Exquisite Corpse EP'.

Elephant stands as track two from the CD and is probably one of the darkest to boot. It shuffles along menacingly as warbling vocal effects, swift guitar-picking, tight, crashing cymbals and a fantastic rhythm coalesce into a sprawling and beautiful mess. 

It's visual companion doesn't break as many boundaries as the music but it's simple and nicely suited to the bands sound as the camera switches from member to member in a room of darkness, slow-mo in full effect, strange dress-wear as far as the eye can see.

You can check it out yourself just below. You can also check the band's forthcoming Akron/Family support dates in the US HERE. Oh and yes, the hyper male drummer behind is indeed Josh Klinghoffer, good friend of Frusciante and his possible replacement for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Enjoy!
