• A pair of Italian twins meet a Japanese woman in New York and form a band. What sounds like the script for a reversal of Sofia Coppola’s film “Lost in Translation” is the story of Blonde Redhead.

  Originally formed as a quartet in the nineties, their first works appeared, appropriately enough, on Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley’s label Smells Like Records; a little later, the hip talent factory Touch&Go took notice of the band, which had shrunk to a trio. And now 4AD is preparing to make the former US indie secret tip palatable to good old Europe.

  Not only the label is new, also the distortion and feedback orgies had to abdicate in favor of an ethereal sound that gives the fine-spun melodies plenty of room. Fans of the band will not be able to hide their astonishment at the broadening of the musical spectrum at first
