[music, songs] February 1, 2004 at 12:19:00 PM CET Blonde Redhead-Elephant Woman I am getting totally hooked by this new single (release date February, 16th) of Blonde Redhead which is very different from the noisy and arty stuff similar to Sonic Youth they have made before. They have signed to 4AD and Elephant Woman has this dreamy ethereal flair which stands for 4AD artists like Cocteau Twins or Lush. It is an opulent pop tune descending right from heaven with Kazu Makino's angelic soprano. Her vocals are extraordinary. Hers must be the purest most innocent voice in pop music and at the same time it is extremely erotic. This may be a cliché-ridden male phantasy but I can imagine her uttering those high-pitch tones when making sex. There is a screaming quality to them though they do not feel out of tune at all. On past albums her voice used to be more like Yoko Ono's shrieking; now it evokes the sensuous Jane Birkin in her prime time. Makino's singing sounds as if she was having a permanent orgasm. In the second half of the song there is this keyboard sequence going higher and higher. It is like a carpet moving up towards the sky rolled out for her voice to return back to where it came from. The new album Misery Is a Butterfly will be out on March, 9th. Another brilliant pop song of theirs: In Particular featuring an amazing clapping intro from the last album Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons at Epitonic. |
