Blonde Redhead
“La Mia Vita Violenta (Smells Like)” (star) (star) (star)
Even in an increasingly global rock village, Blonde Redhead’s line-up of two Italian brothers and two Japanese women is pretty unusual. Just as unusual is the band’s take on the skew-tuned guitar rock so prevalent in its adopted New York home. Where Sonic Youth and a slew of imitators employ exotic guitar tunings to generate an aural quavering that ranges from creepy to abrasive, Blonde Redhead’s ax wash is dreamy and sweet.
