Blonde Redhead - “23″

April 4th, 2007

I’m probably not the only person that’s posting or already has about the new promo track from Blonde Redhead’s upcoming album 23. But considering how excellent the track is, I figure it wouldn’t hurt to toss my hat into the group as well. The only album i’ve listened to in it’s complete entirety from the group was Misery Is a Butterfly. An incredible record in itself that managed to capture a dark and almost mournful mood with lush and ethereal sounds that continues throughout the entire duration. Other than that, i’ve only dabbled with songs from past releases as i’ve never had much time to sit down and really listen to anything else from them.
About the track itself, which will be the lead single along with being the first track off the album, looks to be a great opener to what we hope will be a great record. A nice continuous drum beat plays along to Kazu Makino’s familiar angelic vocals. I don’t know what it is about asian vocalists but I just can’t get enough of them. Couple this track along with some nice cover artwork, and you’ve got the basis for a great release to look forward to as 23 is due out April 10th on 4AD.
