no, i haven't heard them. i stopped buying their 'studio' albums a good while ago*, in part due to her trying to sing songs. the lyrics became harder to avoid too.

*last 'studio' album i bought was actually experimental jetset

Murray Street and Sonic Nurse are phenomenal, up there with their best. Rather Ripped was fun but not one to return to too much. The Eternal was sort of more of the same, but never latched on to it.

"what we know" and "antenna" are fantastic tunes

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Anti-Orgasm is my favorite of the Eternal songs.

 

[Jim Daniels]

I listened to this song 4 times today

Curiously enough I see jet set as the last in a run of dud albums (goo, dirty, jet set). They got good again then up to and including murray st (IMO) and have been on another bit of a dud run since.

Lets face it, their "dud run" is better than most bands entire output.

They have an extensive & varied back catalogue & we're lucky to have it.

Long live Sonic Youth.

Kim's new band Body/Head have a 12" ep thing out, it's really good. Improvised electric guitar noise stuff with singing but it's dreamy and mellow rather than harsh or abrasive, beautiful even, haunting etc. Probably the best solo sonic youth member release ever, or at least since SYR5.

There's also a new LP by Body/Gate/Head which is Body/Head with Gate (michael morley from the dead c). I've only listened once to that one, my initial reaction was that it was good but less interesting. michael morley's guitar sound is kinda overwhelming, the one without him is a little looser and untethered. The last Gate album (Damned Revolutions) is fantastic too....
