Exactly as predicted!

The CLM tracks are leftovers from last year, but I imagine if he comes to the US again he may play with them? Has he played the US lately?

Chelsea Light Moving is the new Crazy Horse.
;)

I'm curious to hear how the album will sound, particularly since the "new" songs (any actual titles yet for "I Love You Forevermore" "Speak to the Wild" or the instrumental?) were all recorded back in March in what I presume was a quick Neil Young-style "learn/record" process. Having said that, the March gigs I watched (with James and Steve) seemed a little unfocused, and I found myself enjoying the songs more in gigs with just Thurston and James playing guitar (extremely similar parts, at that). That had a much more hypnotic togetherness that I didn't get out of the trio sets I watched on youtube.

Having said that, Steve is obviously an excellent candidate to slide right into a jam/learn/record situation with Thurston...I just hope the songs are a little tighter on the record (I'm assuming the tracks recorded in March were done as a live quartet with Deb in studio).

But anyway they have made those songs in the studio, so I believe there are many takes and they choose the best ones. I really expect this record! I have always loved albums which don´t have just one mood. And I liked also how they sounded into that gig.

When can we expect any previews?

Soon I hope, I'm just glad Thurston and Steve are still recording and playing together. Looking forward to more news and hopefully music from this thing.

Cheers!

I really wait September!

Crazy Horse influence, sweet

Interesting. I have feeling this is gonna be great!

also my holydays ;)

Cute. I have a good feeling about this record, can't wait to hear it.

Got Thurston to come on the radio station I work for next week, going to be some stuff about the new record on the show.

Ask him if he digs my spoof cover.
:D

Nice! Any chance to listen to this stuff online?

Ah man, here I thought I was going to bring something new to the table.

Thurston Moore Forms new band with Steve Shelley, My Bloody Valentine's Deb Googe on bass, and James Sedwards

I have not read this thread in full. I haven't even read the above article from beginning to end, but I hope... I really, really, really hope that Chelsea Light Moving doesn't end up being a one-time-thing. Of all the Sonic Youth side projects we've seen come and go over the years, I think it was possibly the only that had a unique enough sound and personality to become its own thing.

The hard edged sound was unexpectedly fresh and new sounding, and had more of a drone/stone noise-rock vibe to it than Sonic Youth ever did. They were either just-plain-noise, no-wave, noise-jam-type thing, or in the instance of Rather Ripped, noise-pop.

But CLM was not just an extension of the SY sound. I really hope that group keeps going, maybe with some shared vocals, and non-Thurston lyrics on it's next go around.

Still, I think we can expect excellent things from this new band setup.

Someday I'd like Thurston and Lee to make a record with Kevin Shields and J. Mascis, maybe with Bobby Gillespie on drums, and... Fuckit, how about Novoselic on bass? That would be great, especially if they sold themselves as something other than a "super group."

I will resume dreaming now.

You will be able to listen live on our website from 4pm GMT

www.ntslive.co.uk

Should be available to online listen back afterwards too

Bobby Gillespie should be BANNED from having to do anything with music for the rest of his LIFE. Guy peaked banging those drums on Psychocandy; after that he should have moved on and sell shoes or something.


Incidentally, Novoselic is now in Super-Earth with Corin Tucker, The Venus 3 (Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey & Bill Rieflin) and Kurt Bloch. I'm hoping for a BITCHEN album.

I have thought CLM has been just backing group of Thurston. I got that picture in a CLM gig summer 2013 (the others of the group just stood & played when Thurston was the only one who has fully in music). Also Thurston composed all the songs in CLM-album. I think Thurston just wanted to name that band differently than his other bands.

And he's expressed regret about not using his real name for that band. I thought maybe he'd play with them for US tours but it looks like that's not the case, so maybe they're done?

Old news unless they actually did another gig or are working towards releasing some music ;)

That would be a damn motherfuckin' shame. And since when is he so worried about such bullcrap? Is it that hard to list your band in the posters and flyers like this?


Chelsea Light Moving forever goddammit!

YAH WELL it had not been mentioned here, right? Besides, any excuse to post a pic of Gorgeous Golden Corin is fine with me.
:D

Actually SYG is where I first heard about it, shit I thought you were the one who told me!! ;)

Damn! No, I most certainly was not... Hey, updating the BitTorrent Announcements thread is quite the gig, OK? I can't be checking every SYG post!
;)

I'm very excited about this new release.

I agree with Chris Lawrence, but i think that Thurston must put more songs into the album.

I think that album will be:

"That's Why I Love You Forevermore"
"Speak to the Wild"
"Another new song #1"
"Instrumental"
"Germs Burn" (re-recording?)
"Detonation" (re-recording?)
"Another new song #2"
"Another new song #3"

Wow, song from The Best Day has just leaked, it's called "Rosetta" and it's about the spacecraft chasing the comet and about space love in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

I LOVE IT! What do y'all think?

I don´t think he´s re-recorded Germs Burn and Detonation. That´s ok to me, because I don´t have that single.

I think there's another version of these two songs, as they were recorded especially for Blank Editions (?), plus he plays Germs burn different on the gigs. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puh1uPJZD58

Ok, nice to hear. I just remembered that Thurston said in some interview they will become to the album also. That was then when the album name was still Detonation. And I have got the picture the material in Best day haven´t been recorded on the same sessions & not even with the same musicians.

Yeah, it´s really great! Just the direction where Thurston needed to go!

I first heard Germs Burn about a year ago and it's changed a lot since then. Like a lot of songs do from the first time they're played to when they get released. I like the versions I've heard live lately and hope the Album version will be more like them.

(That's my video that you shared btw)

:)

Thanks Moshe! Sounds interesting. Too bad the speaker is talking at the intro/outro.

The album will be out October 21st apparently.
