Blonde RedheadFrom the birds chirping in London’s Kew Gardens, plaintive acoustic guitar and panpipes of the opening title track to Blonde Redhead’s ninth album proper Barragán, we know that the inimitable trio have taken another turn in their music journey to beguile and perplex.
Their predilection to experiment amidst the search for new depths of sonic emotion is evident in the percolating grooves that infuse the haunting Dripping, Kazu Makino’s vocal scales and guitar-in-the-back-room outro to Cat On Tin Roof and the reverberating bent strings on The One I Love. Iconic, mesmeric and masterful.
