Warpaint have announced ARTIFACT, a 16-track live album due Dec. 11 through Rough Trade Records. The band shared live versions of “Billie Holiday,” recorded in Phoenix in 2024, and “New Song,” recorded in Dallas; the album draws from performances in nine cities between 2022 and 2024.
Warpaint have announced ARTIFACT, a 16-track live album set for release Dec. 11 through Rough Trade Records, and shared live recordings of “Billie Holiday” and “New Song.” The collection draws on performances recorded between 2022 and 2024, offering a document of the band’s shows across multiple tours and anniversary events rather than a single concert.
The two advance tracks come from the same tour but different stops. “Billie Holiday” was recorded in Phoenix in 2024 and has been released with a performance video; “New Song” was captured in Dallas. Both are live versions, not newly recorded studio tracks. The album is available for pre-order, according to the announcement reported by Consequence.
ARTIFACT compiles performances from Houston, London, Porto, Dallas, Phoenix, Brussels, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and New York City. Its source material spans shows associated with the touring cycle for the band’s 2022 album Radiate Like This, the 15th anniversary of their debut EP Exquisite Corpse, and their 20th anniversary celebrations. The reported track list includes “Undertow,” “Love Is to Die,” “So Good” and “Disco//Very.”
The release will be Warpaint’s first full-length album since Radiate Like This, which came out in 2022. It follows the band’s standalone single “Common Blue.” ARTIFACT is a live release assembled from recordings across several years, rather than a new studio album announced in the report.
A Multiyear Record of Warpaint Live
The release brings together material from several stages of Warpaint’s recent touring history, making ARTIFACT more than a recording of one night. Its selection spans performances tied to a recent album cycle as well as celebrations of the band’s earlier work and milestones. For listeners, that range offers a way to hear songs from different periods in a live setting and across venues in North America and Europe.
The announcement also gives fans a new full-length release after a gap since Radiate Like This. It is a live album rather than a studio follow-up, so it documents performances and does not, by itself, indicate that a new studio record is forthcoming. The two shared tracks provide an early sample of the recordings ahead of the December release.

From Radiate Like This to ARTIFACT
Warpaint released Radiate Like This in 2022, and performances connected to that album’s touring period form part of ARTIFACT’s source material. The live collection also draws on shows marking the 15th anniversary of Exquisite Corpse and the group’s 20th anniversary. These dates place the recordings across a period that included both touring behind newer work and revisiting earlier milestones.
The band’s most recent release identified in the source report before ARTIFACT is the standalone single “Common Blue.” The new album’s mix of songs and cities gives the collection a broader scope than a concert recording tied to one venue, while keeping its focus on live performances from 2022–2024.
““This collection is a snapshot of the sound and energy of our shows and an experience that we’ve felt so lucky to share.””

Release Details Still to Come
The announcement details the release date, label, track count, recording period and source cities, but the provided report does not include the complete track listing, the album’s running time, or the specific venue and date for each recording beyond the two advance tracks. It also does not state whether ARTIFACT will be available on formats beyond those named in the pre-order information.
No additional studio album or tour announcement is included in the report. The release of a live album should not be taken as confirmation of new studio material or future concert dates.
