BLONDE REDHEAD ENLIST INTERPOL, DEERHUNTER FOR JAPANESE CHARITY LP


BLONDE REDHEAD ENLIST INTERPOL, DEERHUNTER FOR JAPANESE CHARITY LP
As the Japanese people continue to feel the effects of the natural disasters that befell their country earlier this year, alt-rock trio Blonde Redhead have put together a compilation in support of recovery efforts. Entitled 'We Are The Works In Progress', the album features exclusives and unfinished tracks by the likes of Liars, John Maus, Deerhunter and Interpol.

With proceeds from sales going to Architecture For Humanity and the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund, the LP will be the inaugural release on Blonde Redhead's new label, Asa Wa Kuru - Japanese for "morning will come" - on 10 Jan.

As suggested by the album's title, the significance of the incomplete pieces is to symbolise Japan's potential for regeneration. Blonde Redhead frontwoman Kazu Makino, who hails from Kyoto, says this: "Unfinished things often carry more energy... the possibility of it eventually becoming something great is infinite without having to be quite yet".

Tracklist:

Four Tet - Moma
Karin Andersson - No Face
Terry Riley - G Song
Nosaj Thing - Nightcrawler
John Roberts - Berceuse
Blonde Redhead - Penny Sparkle (Drew Brown Remix)
