- The two-disc release features eight original tracks, plus remixes from John Roberts, Andy Stott, Traxx, JD Twitch and more.
Brooklyn-based duo Blondes will release their self-titled debut album in February.
Blondes is Sam Haar and Zach Steinman, two artists who met as undergrads at Oberlin College and played together in a number of experimental groups since then, eventually forming Blondes while living in Berlin. After putting out their first record on Merok last year, they began a series of 12-inches on the New York label RVNG Intl., all of which show them drifting further toward house music while maintaing a streak of indie psychedelia. Blondes combines the first three of these releases—Lover / Hater, Business / Pleasure and Wine / Water—with two new songs, "Gold" and "Amber." It also includes 10 remixes by a diverse cast of electronic producers, from John Roberts and Andy Stott to Optimo member JD Twitch. The two-disc album will be available digitally and as a double-CD. You can hear Teenage Fangirl's remix of "Wine" right here.
