23, Blonde Redhead makes their own sweet background music

Unfortunately for Blonde Redhead, their newest album shares their name with a Jim Carrey movie (thanks ponyboy). Whats also unfortunate is that they broke so much new ground with their past albums that each new record will have a hard time to revolutionize just like they did before. So now, we will wallow in the awesomeness where they have already created.

This is not an embarrassing step-son type of album - the one you might feed seldomly and keep in the kitchen when you have company. This is more of the youngest child. An absolute pleasure to have around, sure, but when someone makes fun of your mother, you fucking bring out Misery Butterfly and you watch them cry running home to their own.

The title track pretty much lays the mood for the entire album. It deserves to be the title track, and deserves to the the first single from the album. Its good. Playing loud makes better, as with most BR. The rest of the album follows along the same ambient path, with a few highs and not so many lows. They are more consistent in this production, with less explosions of lust. Tantric sex? Yeah, this album is tantric sex.
