Blonde Redhead – Open Season 2024

On their first album in nearly a decade, and following a wave of viral resurgence, the NYC avant-rock vets return with their warmest, most welcoming music yet.

Last year, US avant-rock legends Blonde Redhead returned with their first album in almost a decade, Sit Down for Dinner.

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.

Don’t miss Blonde Redhead (composed of Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace) when they visit Australia for the first time in 13 years this June.
