Blonde Redhead finally emerges from the shadows of Sonic Youth's post-punk legacy by avoiding the expected detunings, distortions, and shrillness of the genre. The three-piece manages to create a record that is subtle, tuneful, and sublime.
Since it's original release in 2004, the album has sold over 50,000 copies, garnered critical acclaim, and led to the songs "On Your Way" and "Eastern Glow" appearing in the FOX show The O.C.
