Thurston Moore - new solo album thread
Thought I post a short recap of what we have so far. When more
information becomes available you can post that in this thread. Thurston Moore solo album Song titles so far live: Friend Never Frozen Guitar Blue Meets Silver The Shape Performances with John Moloney on drums, Thurston acoustic guitar Performances with Steve Shelley on drums, Sumara Lubelski on violin, Thurston acoustic guitar. New album will be recorded at J Mascis studio in Amherst, Massachussets with producer John Agnello (Rather Ripped) starting in March. New album will feature Thurston on acoustic guitar, steve shelley on drums and Samara Lubelski on violin and more... Songs described by audience as crossing boundaries between Folk, Drone, Psychedelic. Uncharacteristic mellow tunes. Release early Fall current status: mastering at Sterling Sound by Greg Calbi |
don't forget, he's also started playing another song that he didn't announce the title for when i saw him, but he may have just forgotten to do so.
i can't wait to see this thread grow. |

Looking as if it'll be a long wait... |
pity, that we don't have audio recording from that gigs.
|
Do you think that he will use both John Moloney and Steve Shelley on the recordings?

once you find a good drummer you ride that pony till you drop.

I just made a song called 'The Shape' myself, inspired by watching some old halloween films.  |

Rockin Massachucettes After a week of recuperating from SXSW, I find myself up in Amherst recording with Thurston Moore on his new solo record. We have some awesome guest musicians, including Steve Shelley on drums. And we are recording at Bisquiteen Studios, which is in the house of Mr. J Mascis. It doesn't get any better than this. Thurston's new songs are great and this record is going to surprise and blow people away. The vibe of the session is great and I love being up here. Anyway, we are at the early stages and we are taking most of April off, while the Youth are in Asia, the place, not the band. I'll hit you with more info next month. |

Return to Amherst/Northhampton May 2nd, 2007  We're back!!!!!!!!Sorry for this late entry, but my shit's been blowing up. Figuratively. Anyway, after 3 weeks off so Sonic Youth could conquer the Far East and Coachella, we are back at Bisquiteen continuing on the Thurston Moore record. There are many great stories about their trip including scaling the Great Wall, that I could go on and on. But I won't. From what I heard, the shows were great, the fans were awesome and those guys had a great experience. But back to the Thurston record. First off, after spending 3 weeks with the rough mixes, I couldn't wait to get back to the studio and finish this record off. The songs have really taken great shape and Thurston's singing is really wonderful. People might be a bit surprised at the tone of the record, but it is really beautiful. We break for Mother's Day and hopefully will be finished mixing next week. Look for this record in Autumn. It is great! |

Mastering Thurston Moore June 11th, 2007  We're Almost Ready!!! Fast Times At Sterling Sound! Led by the mastering engineer of the ages, Greg Calbi, we are almost finished with the Thurston solo album. I should say, "Greg" is almost finished with the album. It sounds awesome!

thurston "trees outside the academy"
September 2007 and the summer shall wane and the leaves will glow their death state and school bells will peal forth dream desires and wild wishes and oh yeh: ECSTATIC PEACE releases thurston "trees outside the academy"  It's Thurston's first solo outing since 1995's Psychic Hearts. Of course, Thurston's been releasing records here, there and everywhere mostly in the context of rowdy and rambunctious noise/improv escapades but this new one is killer diller SONGS! Unlike Psychic Hearts' skeletal trio rock, this new jammer, 12 years post, has a far fuller bouquet of sonic depth and proves this Sonic dude to have a very real songwriting life outside of the legendary Sonic Youth (of which he is a founding figure, duh). This newborn disc is 12 songs long. Thurston recorded primarily on acoustic guitar and bass, laying down the core of the tunes with drummer compatriot Sonic Youth's Steve Shelly and violinist Samara Lubelski, a noted player from MV/EE and The Golden Road, Hall of Fame and other awesome gatherings as well as solo artiste. Thurston grabbed John Agnello to record and mix the sucker after having a helluva good time with the bro from working on Sonic Youth's 2006 killer Rather Ripped. They decided to work in Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis' Bisquiteen studio (the top floor in J's Amherst house actually) where Dino did their Beyond album. This worked out very nicely as it allowed Thurston to yell down the stairs every time he needed a shredding guitar solo and J would trundle up, plug in and BURN. Other guests on "trees outside..." are Christina Carter, she of Charalambides, and she of the most beatific, beautific voice on land, sea and air. One track called Honest James has Thurston and Christina singing duet against a single acoustic guitar and it is a naked groove. The otherworldly Canadian musician Andrew Macgregor aka "Gown" plays some spectacularly understated and incredible guitar and Sunburned Hand of The Man's John Moloney takes over the drum stool to absolutely flail on the pit snarling Wonderful Witches. And then there's the 20 seconds or so of primal noise wave courtesy of American noise underground genius Leslie Keffer on Off Work. Most of the tunes are lyric driven but there are a couple of majestic instrumentals like Trees Outside The Academy, which brings the album to a musical and breathless close. There's also some weird cassette tape that Thurston found at his mom's of him at 13 years old in the early 70s making some kind of sound-theatre. It's kinda nuts, and it's the last "hidden" track. Tracks like Frozen Gtr, The Shape Is In A Trance, Silver>Blue, Never Day and Fri/end (a theme song to the hippest TV show yet to be broadcast) will lead you in to a sparkling and heavy new world of Thurston's heart, mind and soul. Thurston Moore, for those of you just visiting planet Earth, has been playing music and liberating whatever ossifying standards rock n' roll becomes threatened by since the late 70s when he walked the downtown jungle of punk/post-punk/no wave NYC and started the band Sonic Youth. Ever since he and the band have consistently stayed true to the authenticity and creativity of radical rock n roll idealism. From the experience of a life touring, writing, having a magical daughter with his amazing wife and partner Kim Gordon, Thurston has poured a heady brew into whatever speakers this new CD flows from. Take a sip, and pass it around. thurston "trees outside the academy"  1. Frozen Gtr 4:06 2. The Shape Is In A Trance 4:39 3. Honest James 3:49 4. Silver>Blue 5:51 5. Fri/End 3:19 6.

Based on that Ecstatic Peace! video, I'm thinking this album is gonna be fucking great.

Quote:
Agreed. |
Is it really coming out under the "Thurston" moniker vs "Thurston Moore"?
|
why does thurston getting his hair cut amuse me so? But yeah, I'd say this is my most anticipated album at the moment.
|
The record is gonna be a good 40min long, guess he still likes the lenght of a vinylrecord, think it's a good thing. Now i'm only wondering if the gif animation is the actual album cover. Oh and a particularly ingenius move to release the album under the 'thurston' moniker.

I Can't Wait!!!! I Need This Now!

Quote:
Really liked the songs from the video, especially the second. So I'm very much looking forward to hearing the album. Thanks Jef and Moshe |
ah! great news.. can't wait to listen!!!
|
Sonic-Thurston. Beat that guitar. Make it whale and scream. Ram the headstock into a hurricane force gail w/ a boken mountain of amps. Let the music scream to the multiverse heaven and back again. May the resulting effect fall upon all ears and cultivate a new era of kindness towards all people and lifeforms. Part the string theory w/ Thurston's new music.
|
i'm looking forward to hear this as well.
title of the track american coffin puzzle me a bit. is it the same track from mciaa split? |
It has leaked if anyone's interested.
i made a thread about it. |
