do your ears a favor.
penny sparkle is the eighth studio album from american rock trio blonde redhead. that's right: EIGHTH. blonde redhead released their eponymous debut in 1995 and still, seven years later, it is perfectly likely that you have never even heard of them before, largely due to the incompetence of record labels and disc jockeys. fear not!
blonde redhead is comprised of kazu makino and twin brothers simone and amedeo pace. over the years, a few other members came and went, as is natural in the industry. the pace brothers have always remained a constant, however.
the band's discography is both impressive and complex; penny sparkle continues their journey to experiment with new sounds and mash genres together. there are elements of rock, dreampop, electronica, and even some shades of shoegaze. blonde redhead thinks outside of the box to create a sound that is all their own. penny sparkle is one of those rare records that comes along where every track is a unique experience. "my plants are dead," "love or prison," and "will there be stars?" are my faves, though i also included a few great tracks from their previous record, 23. you know the drill.
