MELODY OF CERTAIN DAMAGED LEMONS - VINYLE ROSE 180 GR

Description

ON THE OCCASION OF THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NEW YORK NOISE TRIO'S CULT ALBUM. Opening with a few synth notes, this fifth album by the New York noise trio Blonde Redhead, released in 2000, accentuates the band's pop side, marking a significant turn in their discography. While accustomed to tense, noisy, and unsettling records, the listener is initially soothed by 'Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons,' which offers a zestier version of the band, exemplified by "Melodie Of Certain Three." Ultimately, certain tracks stand out as true gems, such as the hypnotic "In Particular," the melodic "Hated Because Of Great Faults," and especially the essential "This Is Not," which, by replacing guitars with synths, offers a fresh take on Blonde Redhead. At times, the band's noisy roots reappear with the ultra-dissonant "Mother." If on its predecessor, 'In the Expressible Of the Inexpressible,' the intrusion of more cinematic elements enriched the band's universe, here Blonde Redhead seems to engage in a rather successful pop exercise, contrary to the tension and urgency of their early records. Reissue on 180g magenta pink vinyl for its twentieth anniversary.
