More Info

Nicht allzu zahlreich sind unsere Ausflüge in "poppigere" Gefilde, aber BLONDE REDHEAD kriegen uns irgendwie immer! Und erweichen unser eh schon ziemlich angeschlagenes Herz mit ihrem extrem melancholischen und doch treibendem Gitarren-Moll-Pop, der so versponnen und eigen ist und darum recht einzigartig...

"While we were listening to this new Blonde Redhead we found ourselves musing about how they'd probably do a really great theme
song for a James Bond or David Fincher movie. dark, brooding and mysterious with a seriously palpable tension, 23 finds the band
cementing its place at the meeting point between Sonic Youth and
Radiohead. With a production that sounds much more sleek in a modern rock sort of way, there is no denying that despite the new gloss and freshly polished suit of sonic armor there still lies utterly great
songs at the core of Blonde Redhead's sound. There are some moments where the band explores some totally new directions, like on the track "Silently" which sounds a lot like Abba covering the Four
Seasons' "Too Good To Be True"... which is of course a very good
thing! But overall, all the ingredients that made Blonde Redhead such
a great band are still present. The swirling melodies, the sensuality, the lush arrangements. So while we still kind of wish Guy Piccoto (Fugazi) had worked his production magic on 23, we still can't help but be in head over heels in love with the sweepingly epic music of this amazing trio."
