Release date: 15-09-1998

1998 US 11-track vinyl LP - 5th studio longplayer from the indie trio. Another Touch and Go band turns from assault weapon to art project on Blonde Redhead's latest disc. This New York-based trio (whose members originally hail from Italy and Japan) has always had a taste for sonic abstraction, but its "In an Expression of the Inexpressible" shows an increased indifference toward song structure and groove -Sealed in colour sleeve.

The musically agile trio Blonde Redhead's combination of the eccentric art rock of 1960s underground cult favorites like the United States Of America with the downtown no-wave-ism of late 1970s bands like the Contortions may do the band no favors ...    Full Descriptionin the commerciality stakes. But their second album for the Chicago independent label Touch & Go is a tour de force of amiable eccentricity.

The band's searching, energetic explorations are much in evidence from the outset, with their singer Kazu Makino's free-form vocals underpinned by an angular, unsettled rhythm section on the title track, and the whole band tumbling down a post-rock wormhole on the chaotic "This Is For Me and I Know Everyone Knows." The stuttering rhythms of "Luv Machine" lead that song into prog-rock territory, though the slightly more staid "Distilled" shows that they're capable of keeping up with their more rock-oriented contemporaries, and "Led Zep" displays an airiness that's more a tribute to that band's musical flights of fancy than a homage to its bombast.
