It's time to go deep into the history and story of Misery is a Butterfly, the 2004 album by Blonde Redhead. We got deep, exploring the band's noise pop origins and their move from Smells Like to Touch & Go. For Misery, we dig into their decision to strike out on their own, ultimately landing at 4AD. We explore the album's origins and the impact of the tragic horse accident member Kazu Makino sustained in 2002, which traces of influence can be found within. I explore my personal connection to the album and its lasting impact, 20 years on. In a sense, this is a mini album documentary.
