Blonde Redhead - 23 album cover | |||||||||||||||
23 is an album by Blonde Redhead, released on April 10, 2007. It debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at number 63, selling about 11,000 copies in its first week.
The album was the first to be self-produced by the band, with additional assistance from Crowded House producer Mitchell Froom on two tracks, "Silently" and "Top Ranking". In a press release accompanying the album's release, the band acknowledged that their goal of being more spontaneous in their song-writing, aiming for simplicity and clarity, created additional tensions. Drummer Simone Pace said he found entering the studio with loose ideas for songs nerve-racking. Singer Kazu Makino admitted it "wasn't an entirely enjoyable experience. Without a producer, a referee, we could really get on each other's cases. It got intense." The band admitted that until they reached the mixing stage they were unsure what direction the album was taking. Simone said: "It sounds fresh because we are exploring new things. We get tired of doing the same thing all the time, so we search for other things to do." The first single is "Silently" (b/w: "Signs Along The Path" and "(We're A Real Team) Harry And I"), released as a promo and a digital download only in the UK on June 11, 2007. Track listing 1.
