After laying relatively low since 2007's
23 (which
we caught them touring behind), New York's own
Blonde Redhead are ready to drop new album
Penny Sparkle this fall. The album, featuring the downbeat "Here Sometimes", boasts production credits from Van Rivers & the Subliminal Kid who previously worked with
Fever Ray on her critically-acclaimed self-titled debut.
BR have been crafting their signature brand of dreamy pop rock since the mid 90s and the new album sounds like it will be a further maturation of that sound. Or, you know, maybe not! Either way, give the opening track a listen, catch them on tour, and get
Penny Sparkle when it's released 9/14 on 4AD. (Also, take a look at the
wispy cover art). -
