Blonde Redhead - Sit Down for Dinner

Blonde Redhead return with ‘Sit Down for Dinner’, their first album in nine 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.

Formed in the 1993 New York indie underground, Blonde Redhead quickly found a place on Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley’s label, Smells Like, before releasing beloved records on Touch & Go and 4AD that traced an arc from angular indie-rock to cosmopolitan art pop. The trio might have been a quintessential 1990s band, if not for the fact that they continuously kept going, growing, never confined to any era but
the present.

‘Sit Down for Dinner’ lands as perhaps the strongest record in a 30-year catalogue that’s already as illustrious as it is varied. 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.

LP available on Yoghurt White vinyl, housed in a single sleeve jacket and printed inner.
