WHO ARE WARDENS?

After a two-year hiatus, experimental Brooklyn duo Wardens (MaryEllen DeVaux & Shawnté Salabert) are back in the saddle, cranking out raw, hypnotic, dream-charged indie rock almost three thousand miles away, fueled by the hyper dichotomy of their new home in sun-soaked, smog-choked Los Angeles.

Scrapping their earlier work, Wardens have so far spent the better part of 2009 in a psychedelic haze of what they’ve dubbed “soulgaze”—an atmospheric mash-up of sonic synth, tribal toms, raw punk rock spirit, and spooky dance beats, tinted by an ear for pop melody and a taste for the experimental.

In this incarnation, Wardens are the bastard nieces of Luscious Jackson and Mazzy Star thrust into an earspace where The Kills get jazzercized, Sleater-Kinney goes grrl group, and Animal Collective freaks out on funk…

Bitchin.
