The four women click and connect in a way so rare that theoretically you could put the four greatest musicians in the world in a room and this level of rhythmic transcendence just wouldn’t happen.

As if we needed it re-confirming…’Radiate Like This’ emphasises how special Warpaint are as a band – listen on in wonder.
80
The muted tenor of its production, combined with some of their simplest, sparest songs, yield Warpaint's finest album so far.

Radiate Like This doesn't demand attention, it warrants it. The sharp edges have been painstakingly burred and the surfaces smoothed with such care that it could slip by without you noticing, if you let it.
80
The four-piece have always had their own alluring mystique since they emerged as one of the hottest acts of 2010, and ‘Radiate Like This’ is a welcome reminder that we’re still dealing with a very special band.
80
It’s a record that sucks you into its vortex before laying you down gently again.
80
This comeback is a tribute to what you can accomplish when creating with people you love, proving the band can't be tied to a specific scene.

Radiate Like This is a superb return from Warpaint, full of blissful, uplifting, thoughtful and emotional songs and it’s great to have them back making such brilliant music.
80
The more icy edges are rounded off in favour of softness and a nurturing sense of femininity.
80
Radiate Like This is a quiet stunner and a very welcome return.
80
The all-female indie-rock quartet, have returned after a six year hiatus with fourth album Radiate Like This, and it feels more intimate than ever.
80
Dreamy atmosphere and gorgeous harmonies on first album in six years weave their way into your heart, feeling like welcoming back an old friend.
75
As with previous albums, Radiate Like This does make demands on the listener to do just that, actually listen, and requires some patience before it fully reveals itself.
70
Thankfully, the undertow of Warpaint has pulled them back, revealing а lighter, looser and sexier sound.

Unlike 2016’s Heads Up, whose more direct approach seemed to be influenced by their extra-curricular work, Radiate Like This sounds like a logical progression of their song-based structures.
70
On their first album in six years, the LA band seem to go out of their way to inspire and reassure.
70
Yeah, that’s a decent album. Flags towards the end, sure. Some rippers on there, though. Glad I stuck with it. Might as well listen to “Stevie” again then, eh?

Radiate Like This is a characteristically joined-up effort from the close-knit group, underscoring the strength of their musical bond – its only hindrance being the occasional pang of déjà vu.

While Radiate Like This is a solid return for Warpaint, it's likely to leave some wanting more.
Damn this was a pretty great album. I actually saw these guys live a few years back when they opened for Depeche Mode but never dived into their music much but this was reall good. A consistent vibe with strong song writing and direction to tie it all together. I've heard some of their older stuff and I wanna go back and listen to more now.
Listening to dream pop while journaling with a macchiato and thinking about my financial success, that's my bag right there.
This album was alright, it's kind of a shame when a great deal of their catalog is more appealing than the tracks on this project.

Psychedelic dream pop. Quite a standard Warpaint album. Nice to listen although nothing fresh.
