'23'' is the seventh studio album by Blonde Redhead, released on . It debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at number 63, selling roughly 11,000 copies in its first week.
As rich and densely layered as their last album, "Misery Is a Butterfly", but the overall mood of wistfulness, melancholy, and regret has been replaced by one of mystical wonder and renewed energy. "It's art music and heart music, with equal appeal to a Serge Gainsbourg fan as to a Sonic Youth fan, without ever sounding like either act" - LA Times. "An otherworldly, richly cinematic adventure" - Q Magazine.
