June 16, 2022—Belief, the experimental dance music project of Stella Mozgawa(Warpaint, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett) and Boom Bip, share a new song, “WOT” today with a video by Jim Hosking (The Greasy Strangler, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn). Watch here
The song is taken from their forthcoming debut album Belief, out July 15 via Lex Records—pre-order/pre-save it here.
Since unveiling the project earlier this year, Belief has shared “Art of Love,” “Jung,” “I Want To Be” and “Ulu”—plus remixes from HAAi, Falty DL, Vanishing Twin and Boom Bip’s own rework of “I Want To Be” on their Versions EP in April.
Furthermore, Belief will support Mozgawa’s band Warpaint on the road this summer with dates in New York, Philadelphia, D.C., Toronto and more. See full details below.
Mozgawa—best known as the drummer of Warpaint and a frequent collaborator with Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett (whose wildly acclaimed Things Take Time, Take Time she co-produced) and more—and Boom Bip, the legendary, Mercury Prize-nominated L.A. producer born Bryan Charles Hollon, met more than ten years ago when Mozgawa first moved from Australia to L.A. Bonding over their mutual love of techno legends like LFO and 808 State, they found deep musical kinship and began trading ideas in earnest when Hollon took Mozgawa on tour to drum with his Neon Neon project in 2013.
In 2016 they finally found time to cram every synth and bit of gear they owned into Eric Wareheim’s Absolutely Studios and jam with a single prompt: What Would Mark Bell Do? Recording hours of improvisation, they’ve spent chunks of time over the five years since shaping that material, playing under-the-radar shows cheekily billed as Beef to flesh out ideas along the way.
