So for much of Blonde Redhead's existence they've functioned as a trio, and indeed, the current lineup still consists of 3 members: Kazu Makino, and the Pace twins, Amedeo & Simone. I suppose depending on which album you put on, you'll be getting a slightly different version of their sound, as they've evolved over the past 15 years into something far more ethereal than their art-punk roots would have you believe. This song comes from Misery is a Butterfly, an album that straddles their mid to later period sounds and exemplifies much of what they do best: Minor-key noise, with a sweetly dark atmosphere. If you're more familiar with their newer material, this rather straight forward rocker here might come as a bit of a surprise, indeed, there are certainly still some fangs to this sharp-toothed smile.
Some may find Equus a startlingly creepy video, and it is, but Kazu wrote much of the material for Misery is a Butterfly while recovering from being trampled by a horse. That tidbit of info might key you in on many of the themes present here. Regardless, Blonde Redhead has been a long time favorite, and Equus is a top quality running song.
