The Exquisite Corpse EP is Warpaint’s first ever release. The title comes from a game of the same name where each player progressively adds on to the work of another. This is particularly appropriate as, with no official drummer at the time, each song was made with contributions from different musicians.
In a Roxwel interview, the band said of the EP:
Different people add to make one picture. […] We had so many different drummers on the EP. […] A lot of those songs were fleshed out over a lot of years.
