Since the start of their career together, the trio of Amedeo and Simone Pace and singer Kazu Makino, better known collectively as Blonde Redhead, have been darlings of the New York hipster scene. Their avant garde style that rekindled the sound of Sonic Youth has been championed for its artistic merits, if not always its accessibility. Even with the release of the poppier — relatively speaking — Misery is a Butterfly and 23, the band has managed to maintain its critical acclaim.
