Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 release, the ninth studio album from the Alt-Rock band. BARRAGAN is ambitious. Tracks like 'Dripping', 'The One I Love', and 'Defeatist Anthem (Harry And I)' have all the emotional punches of previous high water marks in the band's repertoire - the just feel slightly less calculated, more serendipitous. Formed in 1993, Blonde Redhead have never made records for fame, or for money, or to ape their teenage heroes, or to indulge any of the dumb, ephemeral impulses that clog up the blogosphere with dumb, ephemeral music. They make music, simply, because they have to. Review: Interesting album - One of my favorite bands! Love having their stuff on vinyl so I can fill the house with the great sounds! I can't say this is my favorite album of theirs, but it's pretty rad. The artwork is great and the liner notes are really unique, everything is under stickers! It's weird but cool. Happy to have added it to my collection. Review: conceptive - I love this album. It may or may not be a concept record, but it has a mood to it, that all goes together. Dreamy, and introspective. You could fall asleep to it, but I recommend you don't. I like all their albums, to be sure, but I mostly listen to this one. That's partly my melancholy, I suppose, yet, it's not actually depressing music.

Great album
I really enjoyed this album in its entirety. If you’re a fan of Blonde Redhead or had the good fortune of seeing them live, you should definitely get this album.

Absolutely love them.
When you want a background that eventually becomes go-to music---Blonde Redhead reverberates. Gives you a place to think and feel, until you get solid enough to listen to them instead of just yourself. And at that point, their melodies will never leave you. Absolutely love them.

Not as good as its predecessors
Blonde Redhead is in my top 5 favorite bands ever, and I love how they've change their music and taken different directions throughout their career. Their last record "Penny Sparkle" is one of my favorite Blonde Redhead albums, as well as "23" and "Misery is a Butterfly". However, it hurts for me to say it, but I think "Barragan" lacks some effort to make it sounds more like the band's ninth studio album. Performance wise is not as strong as its predecessors. In my opinion most of it sounds more like B-sides, or could even make for a good EP as well. I tried playing the album on a loop, over and over in my car, and some of the songs grew on me. However, it's not until the end, specially with "Penultimo" where I feel the songs and the album begins to sound more like an actual LP. Again, I love this band and will see them once they come to my city.
