On their third album for 4AD, Blonde Redhead venture in even more eclectic directions. The trio teamed up with longtime producer Alan Moulder -- who also helped My Bloody Valentine achieve an epic shoegaze sound -- and Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid, traveling between New York and Stockholm to work with these producers. Songs such as "Here Sometimes" prove the band's music is just as capable of journeying between crystalline electronics and cathedrals of dreamy guitars.
