Listen: Stream new Blonde Redhead album on NPR a week before release
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater September 6th, 2010

Blonde Redhead release their next album, Penny Sparkle, through 4AD next Monday. They've already given a track away from it but now you can preview the whole thing, courtesy of the ever-reliable and ever-brilliant National Public Radio. They do this thing quite often, so it's worth keeping your eyes and ears peeled.

Click here to indulge and even read a little bit of editorial about the record. Just to refresh your memory, we've posted the tracklisting and album art below:

  1. Here Sometimes
  2. Not Getting There
  3. Will There Be Stars
  4. My Plants Are Dead
  5. Love Or Prison
  6. Oslo
  7. Penny Sparkle
  8. Everything Is Wrong
  9. Black Guitar
  10. Spain
