    Her solo album is indicative of her strength alone, but it also highlights her importance as a member of Warpaint.

    It shows that she can create a cohesive album by playing out the songs she wrote. But while the poetry and the music are there and played correctly, there is that last little bit of magic missing.

    Occasionally, right on!'s stripped-down sonics are too restrained for their own good--"white devil" doesn't have the fuel it needs to truly ignite--but more often than not, the album offers a welcome glimpse of Lindberg on her own.

    Overall, as bass-players solo missions go, Right On! fares well in both connecting to and standing apart from the mothership. Admittedly, the record’s best moments could perhaps have been cherry-picked to fold into the next Warpaint album or compressed into a just EP-length statement.

    Right on! captures that nostalgia, and rarely, if ever, sounds dated.

    Although there's no shortage of menace and mystery on her goth and dark wave-inspired full-length, these uneasy, creeped-out feelings seep into the unconsciousness only after repeated listens. [Jan 2016, p.95]

    Right On! casts its own seductively austere shadow. [Jan 2016, p.77]

    It’s a record that’s full of interesting ideas that needs a few listens to appreciate its subtleties, which are ultimately very rewarding.

    It’s a haunted house whose furnishings, though familiar, come artfully arranged.

    Lindberg’s range helps the record from feeling too stale. At times, she relies too much on repetition, causing some tracks to feel too familiar to stand out. But, when she shuffles the pieces of her puzzle, the songs are typically the stronger for it.

    Right On! is the solo debut album from the front lady of Warpaint herself, Jenny Lee.

    Right On! is the solo debut album from the front lady of Warpaint herself, Jenny Lee.

    A good friend of mine, a huge Warpaint fan, recommended me this album and I decided to give it try. My first impression wasn't really a positive one, after consecutive listens I still wasn't very impressed by it.

    The songwriting wasn't anything to write home about and were overly simplistic for my tastes and Jenny would just repeat the lyrics in the same redundant way. Tracks like the intro, "blind" and "white devil" felt directionless, almost up to the point they almost felt pointless.

    However, the songs that I did like on this record, "offerings", "boom boom", "he fresh" and to an extend "riot" and "bully" are songs that I will have in my rotation for the next couple of weeks. These songs were seeping with attitude, vibrancy and felt ambitious. "offerings" especially gave me some vibes from the recent My Brightest Diamond album "This Is My Hand".

    Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I don't get the full artistic idea behind this record...
    But I do know that this album just simply did not resonate with me on the level that I hoped for.

    Fav Tracks: offerings, he fresh, boom boom
    Least Fav Tracks: blind, white devil, never

The vocals/lyrics serve an atmospheric, expressive function rather than a literal one. The songs are a moody post punk psychedelic pop that sound not unlike like the mother ship, Warpaint, but slightly more intriguing... and edgy. In a time of endless reconstructions of banal pop styles, this stands out. No wonder some of the critics were unsure...it is over their heads. Full Review »
