23, the 2007 album of Blonde Redhead, was released by 4AD in the middle of April.

The trio from New York has come a long way since their first album’s production by Sonic Youth’s drummer Steve Shelley in 1995, and this one is probably their most long-waited release – Japanese lead singer Kazu Makino and the Italian twins Simone and Amedeo Pace are one of the big bands now.

This is the first album that the band has produced themselves, and, as they told nme.com, they are satisfied with both the experience and the result, as it gave them more control over their ideas. The sound of the album reflects this fact, as the music concentrates more on fullness and richness of texture and less on progression and form, at least in comparison to their other albums.
