| | Blonde Redhead |
 | | Blonde Redhead with their unique sound and deadpan vocals have always been, for me, the quintessential New York band. | | | The name Blonde Redhead was taken from a song by the 1980s no-wave band DNA. | | | Blonde Redhead was a fine band on a small label. |

| | * Dusted Reviews - Blonde Redhead * |
| | Blonde Redhead's first four albums featured nice chord progressions, but the band's sound was given shape by its sophisticated rhythmic sense and its noisy eccentricities. | | | Blonde Redhead's open-ended, jazzy rhythms on their first two records and the complex, precise post-punk charge on their next two were also far more elegant than Sonic Youth's plodding beats. | | | Sure, there was a lot of noise in Blonde Redhead's early years (particularly in their excellent self-titled first album), but there were also lovely melodies and logical, minor- and diminished-chord progressions that Sonic Youth could never have written. |

| | Outer Sound: In Review: Blonde Redhead |
| | Blonde Redhead’s musical ancestors are 19th century Romantic composers who departed from the 18th century Classical periods rigid musical structures and emphasis on catchy tunes in pursuit of more artistic pastures. | | | Since their last album, the beautiful La Mia Vita Violenta, Blonde Redhead has been without the services of a full-time bassist to hold the often disparate guitar parts together. | | | Similarly, Blonde Redhead proves that music is much more than something to tap your fingers to and sing along with. |

| | Blonde Redhead are that rarest of things – a band whose voice has grown stronger, clearer and more distinctive with every record that they have made. | | | Whatever the reason, "Misery Is A Butterfly" features some of the most tender music in the Blonde Redhead catalogue – tracks like "Anticipation" and "Magic Mountain" swell and shimmer with wistful melodies and delicately-placed skeins of sound. | | | A broader range of influences started to have their effect on the music, and the band's artistic progress was triumphantly confirmed by the appearance in 2000 of "Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons". |

| | Boston.com / A&E / Music / Blonde Redhead embraces changing tones in its music |
| | It's taken many years for Blonde Redhead to emerge from the shadows of Sonic Youth, whose drummer Steve Shelley produced and released the New York art-rock trio's 1995 debut and whose post-punk detunings and distortions were the shrill heart and abrasive soul of Blonde Redhead's sound. | | | Pace is reticent to analyze the evolution of Blonde Redhead's sound, although he acknowledges that a serious injury suffered by bandmate and girlfriend Makino, in 2002, had a huge impact. |

| | Blonde Redhead have released five albums so far. | | | Blonde Redhead are maybe not among the basic researchers of modern pop music, compared to Steve Albini or early Sonic Youth. | | | More like the ubiquitous Beatles, the achievement of Blonde Redhead lies in the ability to find the expression that fits each song. |

| | Blonde Redhead: Misery Is a Butterfly: Pitchfork Review |
| | Blonde Redhead have long been maligned as self-consciously artsy, drawing facile comparisons to Sonic Youth and a host of No-Wave acts-- references that owe as much to their bandname's tribute to a DNA songs as to Blonde Redhead's often discordant noise-rock. | | | Only on "Anticipation" are Makino's vocals as beckoning as their musical surroundings; elsewhere, Blonde Redhead remain as they've always been: beautiful and vacant. | | | Parrying the double-edged sword of pathos in music-- the "emo" trap, if you will-- Blonde Redhead have perfected their own unusual strain of perceived insincerity. |

| | Blonde Redhead rounds out this stellar release with a French version of "Melody" and an alternate rendition of "Misery is a Butterfly"'s title track. | | | Sylvian does swift justice to Blonde Redhead's words, lending the band a folky quality that distinguishes it from the sophisticated musical arrangement and breeds cohesion through contrast. | | | As though they were culled from a music box in a dust-bedecked attic, atop an old Victorian mansion in which the notion of misery itself was conceived, the four songs here are bound to haunt even the most world-weary of listeners. |

| | Blonde Redhead’s Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons backgrounds the guitars which were previously so central to their sound and moves keyboards up from their previously more textural atmospheric role, and also foregrounds Kazu and Amadeo’s beguiling vocals. | | | Blonde Redhead’s music often seems to express sadness, regret and tragedy, plus a little of that punk rock staple anger. | | | The record retains an individual sound and is still unmistakably a Blonde Redhead recording. |

| | I listened to the sound of Kazu Makino's sexy voice, I listened to the sound of Amedeo Pace's dissonant choppy guitar lines, and I wondered. | | | I hungrily read magazine articles and learned that Blonde Redhead's band members (first four, now three) met randomly in New York in 1993, that Sonic Youth's drummer Steve Shelley produced and released their debut record. | | | Blonde Redhead, screaming and melting down like Yoko at the end of the last song. |

| | Blonde Redhead: Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons: Pitchfork Review |
| | Blonde Redhead's biggest detractors focus on the group's uncanny resemblance to Sonic Youth. | | | The title itself makes plain Blonde Redhead's musical M.O.: they've tempered their indulgences somewhat, and begun focusing on integrating hooks and feeling into their cavalcade of ringing guitars and propulsive percussion. | | | Kazu is thankfully more restrained here without reducing her vocal contributions, the finest of which is "This is Not." Easily one of the most puzzling tracks the group has recorded, "This is Not" brings to mind what an unlikely collaboration between Blonde Redhead and the Magnetic Fields might sound like. |

| | Blonde Redhead is awesome, they are mostly metal with strange loud vocals that jump in all of a sudden during a peaceful tune, their song "in particular" rules, it's sort of a dance, pop song with a groovin' catchy tune. | | | They take every wonderful noise on earth and seem to fit it on one cd. | | | They seemed to love the place, or the enthousiasm of the public, because they even came cback twice. |

| | Amazon.ca: Music: Misery Is A Butterfly |
| | Blonde Redhead have been around for many years so many older fans argued about their new softer, more atmospheric side but on tracks like " Magic Mountain ", " Falling Man " and " Elephant Woman " you'll clearly experience a band at the peak of their powers. | | | Although they have taken a wide turn away from their previous material with their new album, Misery is a Butterfly, the band has finally managed to step completely out of the shadow of Sonic Youth and to solidify their identity as one with a wholly unique and defining sound. | | | The Blonde Redhead of old returns, somewhat, on more high-strung songs like "Falling Man" and "Maddening Cloud," both of which add some much-needed urgency to the album's mannered heartache. |

| | That's not to say that Blonde Redhead is not moving toward a more "bare" sound, but merely that they have switched tracks, taking a different route to that sound. | | | Though some songs on their last album, In an Expression of the Inexpressible, share the same emotions as these new songs, they would not sound right on Melody... | | | Producer Guy Picciotto and Blonde Redhead have put more emphasis on the voices on Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons than previous albums. |

| | As if Blonde Redhead's sound in general isn't enough to push audiences away, the group has released "Misery is a Butterfly," an album that has already alienated some devoted followers. | | | Sure, it's a departure from the band's noise-rock roots, and yes, keyboards seem to be Blonde Redhead's favorite toy, but it's an incredible album that deserves more attention than it's receiving. | | | The album is the sound of goose bumps. |

| | Blonde Redhead's noisy, dissonant guitars, alternate tunings, and quiet, stilted lyrics have often been compared to early Sonic Youth. | | | With Makino and Amedeo on guitars and vocals, Simone on drums, and Takahashi on bass, the band's chaotic, artistic rock caught the attention of Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, who produced and released the band's debut album, Blonde Redhead, on his Smells Like Records label. | | | The name was taken from a song by the '80s no-wave band DNA. |

| | Blonde Redhead - Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons (Touch and Go) |
| | Blonde Redhead's fifth full length, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, sees the band experimenting with different, more pop-based instrumentation, showing a renewed emphasis in making catchy yet still arty hooks. | | | While I've already used the word "pop" once before, and you will undoubtedly hear in several sources that Blonde Redhead is more pop on this album, feel rest-assured that, other than two exceptions, these pop experiments work as accessories to the Blonde Redhead sound you know and love, not total makeovers. | | | Whereas their last full length was experimental to the point of sounding shapeless and, at times, abrasive, the means of...Damaged Lemons' experimentation is to make the music more irresistible. |

| | On their sophomore album, Blonde Redhead streamline the beautiful ballast of their debut into a feral flow as focused as it is furious. | | | A fierce, sun-choked sprawl of an album, arching from fast to slow, funkup to freakout, girl/boy voices intersecting in rapturous release, Blonde Redhead presents a band announcing themselves as powerfully as any rock contender in recent memory. | | | Clocking in at just under a half hour, the record is a concise, pure, near-perfect statement of the template the band continues to expand. |

Blonde Redhead's upward trajectory from record to record is frighteningly steep. | | | The song relies on a metronomic beat and repetitive but clean guitars to produce the uncharacteristically futuristic tone. |

| | For their fifth record, Misery Is a Butterfly, Blonde Redhead moved on to 4AD, perhaps an appropriate choice as their increasingly crepuscular, spidery sound has begun to mirror some of that label's storied history. | | | Blonde Redhead's early stuff was great, paradigmatic '90s post-punk/post-rock, but after a decade together, one looks at Blonde Redhead and sees a band that has truly come into its own. | | | Blonde Redhead - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music |

| | It has taken some time to divorce my impressions and feelings for the record from my expectations; I have the feeling that Misery will be like PJ Harvey's Is This Desire, an album I was skeptical of at first, but developed a deep appreciation for as time passed. | | | The dips to screams and the volatile guitars are absent. | | | A varied collection of keyboard sounds carry the melodies, provide the backbone and supply the atmosphere for all of Misery's songs: harpsichord-like tones, full-on piano, swirling strings and synthetic bells and pops, to name a few. |

| | ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY OC Weekly: CD Review: Blonde Redhead |
| | Italian/Japanese-by-way-of-NYC band Blonde Redhead’s music has always been as confounding, fascinating and as seemingly incongruous as their name. | | | The last song, "Equus," is one for the old fans, with the guitar in the lead and Makino’s voice chasing it down, like they don’t want you to forget their power after all that prettiness. | | | But they’ve whittled out a niche in the überhipster scene because they manage to sculpt all those disparate sounds together into something absorbing and, on their past two records, somehow soothing. |

| | The fact that Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley released Blonde Redhead's first two albums on his label, Smells Like Records, didn't help. | | | The New York band's third album, Fake Can Be Just As Good (Touch and Go), is full of songs that layer brittle guitar parts with hummable discordance, inventively building upon the seminal work of No Wave bands like Wire, DNA and Sonic Youth. | | | The next time you see Blonde Redhead live, you might want to track down authentic Japanese takeout for Makino. |

| | Word has it that the band had more studio time than ever before, and the result is a concept album which combines elements of Lennon-McCartney experimentation with elements of Yoko Ono eccentricity. | | | "Melody of Certain Three" is a sure hit, as are "Loved Despite of Great Faults," "This Is Not," and "A Cure." This album has quieter passages than any previous Blonde Redhead album, and it will definitely be looked back upon as a benchmark of their career. | | | It's difficult to be convinced that no one in this band is French, because there's a pervading chill of the ghosts of Serge Gainsbourg, Camus and Sartre-esque existentialist confusion, French pop of the sixties, the films of Renoir, and music of Plastic Bertrand. |
