Blondes
Blondes
Experimental techno duo Blondes’ debut album is essentially a combination of three previously released 12” singles, a previously unreleased fourth, and an excellent remix disc with work from big names such as Andy Stott and John Roberts. The singles are tied together by a yin/yang duality concept where the B-side to ‘Lover’ is ‘Hater’ and so on. It’s hard to discern the lofty concept outside of the tracks’ titles so it’s a good job the music is so good, wave after wave of geometrically patterned compositions that owe their debt to Nineties trance and electronic kraut rock in equal measure. ‘Lover’ is the album’s highlight, a light-streaked slice of the sort of liquid balaeric trance the Chemical Brothers tried to bottle on ‘Star Guitar’. Darragh McCausland.
