Warpaint’s full length debut, The Fool is set to release in late October courtesy of Rough Trade records. You may or may not have heard about the California Dream Pop band, but their upcoming album will surely be one that’s dissected frontwards and backwards by every indie centric blog on the web.

Leading the promo charge for that album is this curious video for a David Bowie cover they did. And it’s not of just any David Bowie song they’re covering… it’s my favorite Bowie song ever, “Ashes to Ashes.” Those of you unfamiliar with it, it’s a sort of sequel to Bowie’s classic “Space Oddity” and appeared on 1980′s Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), one of Bowie’s best and more under-appreciated albums.

This cover isn’t set to appear on The Fool, so I’m not really to sure what it’s for… I guess it was done just to be done. The video was made by Freddie Paull with the help of Kyle Ferchau and Jon Lewis, and consists of a bunch of time lapse shots across Arizona. It’s a cute cover version but can’t come close to trumping the original.
