Description / Review:

————————

Last week, we shared “Here Sometimes”, a mysterious new Blonde Redhead song. At the time, we didn’t know anything about the band’s plans for the track, but now we know that it’s the opening track from a new Blonde Redhead album. Penny Sparkle, the New York trio’s follow-up to 2007’s 23, arrives September 14 in the U.S. and a day earlier everywhere else, via 4AD.

The band recorded Penny Sparkle in New York and Stockholm, working with Fever Ray producers Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid, whose synth-heavy background should have an interesting effect on Blonde Redhead’s luxuriant guitar clangor. Shoegaze legend Alan Moulder mixed, just as he did for 23.

In a press release, frontwoman Kazu Makino, in typically impenetrable form, had this to say about the album: “I fell in love with the music like falling for someone you’ve known for a long time. It was dreamy and sometimes was very stormy. At times I felt like a shepherd who was trying to herd five stallions into a yard (unsuccessfully). I felt like I was a link to everyone. I remained still and the others were constantly moving around it. I am not sure what Penny Sparkle is but I hope I offered to them as much as they offered me. I know that we have never made a record this way and if I could go back in time, I would do it exactly the same way again.”

The band also has a few live shows scheduled for the months ahead, with more to come soon.
