Blonde Redhead Share Before Single
I thought I had our musical coverage all planned out today, but it’s hard to pass on a Blonde Redhead track, right? This new single does seem like the perfect bit of coffee pop, with Kazu’s vocals pushed way up in the front, as the texture operate in the background. My ears, at this early moment in the morning, feel like there’s sort of two songs going on behind her, only adding the depth; the percussive element seems separate from the work of the keys, like two distinctive pieces working in unison to build a backdrop for the vocals. You almost get this sort of jazz brunch feel, and yet, somehow, all these years later, the group still manage to make their work seem fresh and stunning. They’ll release Sit Down for Dinner on September 29th via section1.
