Blonde Redhead's Viral Hit Fuels Comeback Album
10 Sep
Summary
- A wordless track gained massive popularity via Rick and Morty.
- The new album is the band's first in nearly a decade.
- The album marks a warmer, more welcoming sound for the band.
Veteran NYC band Blonde Redhead has released "Sit Down for Dinner," their first album in nearly a decade, marking a significant return to form. The band experienced a viral resurgence, largely driven by their 2000 track "For the Damaged Coda," which gained immense popularity through the Adult Swim series "Rick and Morty." This unexpected popularity arrived for a song that began as a studio lark.
"Sit Down for Dinner" signals a shift towards a warmer, more welcoming musical style for the avant-rock trio. The album opens with "Snowman," which features gleaming acoustic guitars and a serene vocal performance. However, beneath this delicate surface, an insistent rhythmic pulse provides a contrast, embodying the band's signature blend of fine-china delicacy and dark-cloud distress that defined their most resonant earlier works.
