Blonde Redhead

Musical Group

New York–based trio formed by twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace and singer Kazu Makino; noted for evolving from noisy, Sonic Youth–influenced rock to more melodic, electronic and dream-pop sounds.

Reviewed DeBaser coverage highlights releases on Touch & Go and 4AD, production work with Guy Picciotto on an early album, and a critical narrative of transition from noise-rock to refined, melodic arrangements.

DeBaser reviews document Blonde Redhead's evolution from noisy, Sonic Youth–influenced beginnings toward more melodic, dream-pop and electronic textures. Key albums repeatedly praised are Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, Misery Is a Butterfly and 23. Live reports note precise performances but sometimes heavy use of backing tracks. Kazu Makino's voice is frequently described as divisive yet central to the band's identity.
