Blonde Redhead: Penny Sparkle

Blonde Redhead likes to keep us on our toes. And they like to keep on their toes as well, as evidenced by their new album, Penny Sparkle. Teaming up with Swedish production duo Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid, the trio of vocalist & guitarist Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simone & Amedeo Pace incorporate an icy electronic sheen on their first album since their 2007 breakthrough album, 23.
