Pressed on black vinyl and hand-numbered, the record features newly expanded versions of “Before,” “Rest of Her Life,” and “Via Savona,” recorded with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. It also includes reimagined versions of the viral favorite “For the Damaged Coda,” including a beautiful mariachi-inspired take, as well as a collection of ambient ASMR tracks crafted by Kazu. Dreamlike, intimate, and a slightly surreal, The Shadow of the Guest offers a fresh lens on the world of Sit Down for Dinner and beyond, inviting listeners to tap into the sense of wonder and childlike emotion that run through the band’s work.

    Sit Down For Dinner - One Year Anniversary Edition

      Blonde Redhead, the beloved rock trio of Kazu Makino and Italian twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace, released their first album in nearly a decade, ‘Sit Down For Dinner’, out September 2023 on section1.

      To celebrate its one-year anniversary, the band re-release the album on a new red transparent marble colour.

      The album received incredible praise from a wide range of outlets, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Vogue, MOJO and many more.

      Written and recorded over a five-year period spanning New York City, upstate New York, Milan and Tuscany, Sit Down for Dinner is immaculately structured, imbued with sensitivity, clarity, and resolve. Throughout the album, the understated yet visceral melodies create a foil to lyrics about the inescapable struggles of adulthood: communication breakdown in enduring relationships, wondering which way to turn, holding onto your dreams.

      Sit Down For Dinner

        Blonde Redhead return with ‘Sit Down for Dinner,’ their first album in seven years and debut for section1. Its title a nod to the often-sacred communal ritual of sharing a meal with those you love, this immersive, meticulously crafted album appropriately serves an expression of persistent togetherness, a testament to the unique internal logic Blonde Redhead have refined over their three-decade existence.

        Understated yet visceral melodies charge each song, creating a foil to lyrics about the inescapable struggles of adulthood: communication breakdown in enduring relationships, wondering which way to turn, holding onto your dreams. Ultimately, ‘Sit Down for Dinner’ lands as perhaps the strongest record in a catalog that’s already as illustrious as it is varied.

        STAFF COMMENTS

        Barry says: A woozy mix of melodic pop melodies atop shifting progressive instrumental backdrops, taking in classic psychedelia and ambient electronica in equal measure. A beguiling and sensitive selection, particularly the eponymous duo of tracks. Lovely.

        La Mia Vita Violenta - Reissue

          Art-house kosmische from the battered basements of pre-9/11 New York. Polyrhythmic screamo for underemployed Gen-Xers and trust fund weed dealers alike. La Mia Vita Violenta, Blonde Redhead’s 1995 sophomore effort, in print as a definitive single LP for the first time since… ever.

          “These songs combine a raw need, a ready access to neediness, with seemingly incongruous cinematic changes reminiscent of ‘60s Italian pop music and movie scores. They switch between emotional grandeur and eye scratching immediacy.” - Arto Lindsay.

          Penny Sparkle

            "Penny Sparkle" was made over the last year with the band journeying between New York and Stockholm to work with production duo Van Rivers and The Subliminal Kid (Fever Ray, Glasser) with additional production work undertaken with Drew Brown (Beck, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Radiohead). As with their previous album, "23", Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) was enlisted to mix it.

            Kazu Mazino from the band speaks of the record: “I can't say what Penny Sparkle is about just yet. I remember talking to Ed (from 4AD) one day and telling him that I had a vision that I was traveling to far away places to complete it. (Then) I landed in snowy slippery Stockholm... and here. Henrik and Peder in Stockholm and Drew in NY and after with everyone in NY again. I fell in love with the music like falling for someone you've known for a long time. It was dreamy and sometimes was very stormy. At times, I felt like a shepherd who was trying to herd five stallions into a yard (unsuccessfully). I felt like I was a link to everyone. I remained still and the others were constantly moving around it. I am not sure what Penny Sparkle is but I hope I offered to them as much as they offered me. I know that we have never made a record this way and if I could go back in time, I would do it exactly the same way again”.
