Blonde Redhead - Fake Can Be Just As Good

Blonde Redhead – Fake Can Be Just As Good is a fierce and hypnotic snapshot of the band's early ascent into the noise rock and art-punk underground. Originally released in 1997, this third album finds the trio sharpening their angular edge with gritty guitars, unpredictable rhythms, and haunting dual vocals from Kazu Makino and Amedeo Pace. It’s raw, uncompromising, and beautifully off-kilter—a record that thrives in tension and contrast.

With its abrasive charm and eerie melody, Fake Can Be Just As Good cemented Blonde Redhead’s reputation for crafting emotionally intense, sonically adventurous music. Pressed on vinyl, this reissue brings back the analog warmth and grain that complements the record’s dissonant aesthetic. For fans of Sonic Youth, Unwound, or the darker corners of ‘90s indie, this is a cult classic worth rediscovering.
