Blonde Redhead – Penny Sparkle (4AD)
4/5
By: Tim Robins
The title track from Blond Redhead's new album, 'Penny Sparkle' resonates with the voice of Kazu Makino; her so-delicate-they-might-shatter vocals permeate the track like the falling of a light summer rain.
The very subtle electronics and reverb-laden percussion almost convince me that Blonde Redhead have in actuality stolen some long lost School of Seven Bells or Burial record from the vaults, and claimed it as their own.
'Penny Sparkle' is a majestic, haunting track which peers deep into your soul during the first listen, forcing your spirit to be forever subject to the ghostly revisitations of Makino's fragile whispers and the pulsing layers of ambient noise upon which they glide.
