Taking it back...#9

Seeing as it's the season of Halloween it would only be fitting to play you this track.

Ps. In case you're all wondering why we aren't all out trick or treating. Well, we did that last night. Sort of..

Sonic Youth new song

Yes that's right. After a few years of waiting, the magnificent Sonic Youth are back
with this first taste of their new album.

“Sacred Trickster” is a 2:10 out-of-the gate hardcore matinee track with Kim singing salutes to French painter Yves Klein and Western Massachusetts noise artist Noise Nomads. It sets the tone for ‘The Eternal’, which comprises twelve tunes that are a fireworks display of Sonic Youth touchstones. From the primal no wave attack of its earliest days, to the radical chording and song structures of its ’90s period, to the more focused and contemporary explorations of the last five years. This their 16th album, and their first for the Matador label, consolidates their move to a more lush, sensual sound as displayed on last album ‘Rather Ripped’ - but if anything punchier and cleaner, and now backstopped by the addition of Mark Ibold (Pavement, Dustdevils) on bass.
