Art-house kosmische from the battered basements of pre-9/11 New York. Polyrhythmic screamo for underemployed Gen-Xers and trust fund weed dealers alike. La Mia Vita Violenta, Blonde Redhead's 1995 sophomore effort, in print as a definitive single LP for the first time since_ ever. "These songs combine a raw need, a ready access to neediness, with seemingly incongruous cinematic changes reminiscent of `60s Italian pop music and movie scores. They switch between emotional grandeur and eye scratching immediacy." _Arto Lindsay
