Youth gone solo: Thurston readies Mascis-tastic solo LP
Sonic Youth man, Thurston Moore, is to release a solo album, Trees Outside The Academy, this September. The record is his first as a solo guise (in his name at least) since Psychic Hearts in 1995.
Newswires inform us that the whole shebang is 12 songs long and recorded primarily on acoustic guitar and bass. The majority of the tunes were recorded with Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelly and violinist Samara Lubelski.
Being one big family of America alt.rock, Thurston got producer John Agnello to record and mix following his work on Sonic Youth’s 2006 release Rather Ripped. Of course, it was recorded in J Mascis’ Bisquiteen studio (that’s basically J’s house). Naturally the Mascis applies liberal guitar solos all over the album. Would you expect less?
Sounds good, non?

ehhhh
Sonic Youth man, Thurston Moore, is release a solo album
PROOOF READ!
Anyways I really liked 'Psychic Hearts' =D so i look forward to it
fuck knows
One relies on our sources for the info. I won't even pretend I have an extensive knowledge of Sonic Youth solo projects...
and
about 50 other releases but this is the first one of 'songs' I guess.
hehe
No one ever comments on the writing on DIS, just how it's worded or spelt. ;)
sorry...
Mike was at lunch. Normally i write good.
Come on Thurston
give us that anti-ageing potion you've found already.
How on earth is he in his late 40s looking like that?
I expect..
..this is a stock DiS photo we got 6 years ago. That was on the interweb 5 years before that.
It was taken when he was 26.
yes, but have you seen him recently?
he still looks about 26.
There's only one 'O'...
...in PROOF READ.
Ahahahahahaha
BOLLOX!
What I *meant* to say, in my very best sarcastic tone of voice, was that there are two Os in PROOF, now I look like a total twat, so I'm going to shut up.
J mascis should be banned from soloing over other peoples songs
the broken social scene song at ATP and a song on the 2nd beachwood sparks album wrecked
kinda...
that was a collection of works by other people based on 30-second bursts of noise he sent them, no?
hahahaha =)
i know that anyways =D I just wanted to stretch the word out =)
yea i have that
it came in a hoover bag too :) haha some of them are really weird though, some are really good though so it makes up for it :) i like the mogwai one
WHAT.
the solo to 'feel the pain' over the top of 'almost crimes' was one of the most euphoric moments in the history of music!
...
Thurston is not human..
The rumour is
that he's got a really scary self-portrait hidden in his attic
omg
iam listening to this album right now and it is so good omfg
Chris Brokaw is touring
in Thurstons band at the minute-He's such an ace guitarist and in the 2 dollar guitar band with steve shelly. The record is ok-prettymuch of a muchnesswith Thurston-and that's a good thing.
