BLONDES | Wine

Blondes, the duo of Sam Haar and Zach Steinman, release their self-titled debut album for RVNG Intl. 

Haar and Steinman met at Oberlin College in 2003, where they studied electroacoustic composition and studio art respectively, and became collaborators in a smattering of short-lived experimental outfits. After graduation and stints apart in Oakland and NYC, Haar and Steinman regrouped in Berlin where Blondes was born, eventually settling on Brooklyn for home base. 

Blondes are this duo that I didn’t really get into at first but after sometime, it started to grow on me more. I ask myself “Why?” and I guess my answer is that Iwasn’t so interested on their taste of productions but after some time…

“…this shimmery Wine track started to remind me of those hot summer nights in Philly dancing to electro late into the morning.”

Though this track did catch me by surprise just because of how shimmery and climatic it can get to you. Just like like a story, you got your beginning, middle, and end to this track. Have you ever had one of those nights? Where you just stay up real late into the morning and dancing the night away, letting the music suck you in? It’s fucking fantastic. Close your eyes and let your mind loose.

The album drops 2/7 via RVNG Intl

Beirut - East Harlem

While we’re discussing forgotten tracks—I didn’t pay much attention to The Rip Tide when it came out this summer, but this song came up on shuffle in the car the other day, and I was blown away by how beautifully arranged and produced it is. Even the spare moments around 2:10 and 3:42 pull you in pretty deeply. It’s worth putting on your nice headphones for this one.

Deep on the ocean bed,

Kissing passionately

While the fish swim overhead…
