Blonde Redhead’s New Single “Here Sometimes”

July 19, 2010

Merupakan sesuatu yang sangat menyenangkan, ketika bangun dari mimpi indah disuatu pagi, berusaha memulai hari dan menemukan referensi lagu baru yang bisa didengarkan. Here sometimes, satu lagu baru yang sangat misterius dari Blonde Readhead.

Blonde Redhead adalah trio dari Amerika, yang menurut Geeks Bible genrenya lebih cocok disebut sebagai “Dream Pop”. Terdiri dari Kazu Makino dan saudara kembar Simone and Amedeo Pace. Fyi, This band performs in multiple languages including English, Japanese, Italian, and French.

At the time, we didn’t know anything about the band’s plans for the track, but now we know that it’s the opening track from a new Blonde Redhead album. Penny Sparkle, the New York trio’s follow-up to 2007′s 23, arrives September 14 in the U.S. and a day earlier everywhere else.

Di press release mereka, frontwoman Kazu Makino, bilang gini soal album terbaru mereka nanti: “I fell in love with the music like falling for someone you’ve known for a long time. It was dreamy and sometimes was very stormy. At times I felt like a shepherd who was trying to herd five stallions into a yard (unsuccessfully). I felt like I was a link to everyone. I remained still and the others were constantly moving around it. I am not sure what Penny Sparkle is but I hope I offered to them as much as they offered me. I know that we have never made a record this way and if I could go back in time, I would do it exactly the same way again.”

From my end, after listening to this song, one thing I want to say about this “I can see you like a fireworks in my dreams.”
