<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Today NYC-based trio
<b>Blonde Redhead</b> – a.k.a. guitarist/vocalist <b>Amedeo</b> <b>Pace</b>, drummer
<b>Simone Pace,</b> and guitarist/vocalist <b>Kazu Makino</b> – have announced the first U.S. dates in support of their forthcoming album
<b><i>Barragán </i></b>(out <b>September 2<sup>nd</sup></b> on <b>Blonde Redhead Records
</b>via Kobalt Label Services)<b><i>,</i></b> which was produced, engineered, and mixed by
<b>Drew Brown</b> (Beck, Radiohead, The Books, Lower Dens). Dates are below in bold. All shows go on sale on
<b>July 18<sup>th</sup>, 2014</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The band recently premiered their astounding new single,
<b>“Dripping,”</b> via <b><i>Noisey</i></b> - </span><a href="http://noisey.vice.com/blog/blonde-redhead-dripping-premiere-stream"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">PRESS HERE</span></a><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""> to listen to “Dripping”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The band’s newest record,
<b><i>Barragán</i></b><i>, </i>is one of the freshest in their acclaimed catalogue, taking
<b>Blonde Redhead</b> down yet another new sonic path nine records into their career. This is a band whose name has been built on the endless evolution of their own aural dynamics, and in that respect,
<i>Barragán </i>does not disappoint. It is the most stark, elemental, stripped back album Blonde Redhead has ever made, relying on shivers of analogue keyboard twists and the off-kilter, slinky rhythms of drummer Simone Pace to carry the voices of singers/guitarists
Kazu Makino and Amadeo Pace, two of the most distinct voices in independent music. These songs are some of the most sensual, serendipitous, sparse recordings to come from
<b>Blonde Redhead</b>, showcasing a completely new side to the three songwriters, and marking
<i>Barragán</i> as that crucial next sonic step forward for one of New York City’s most important bands of the last two decades.
