The lead track on the forthcoming Sonic Youth album ‘The Eternal’ is available today Monday 20th April as an MP3 download from itunes. ‘Sacred Trickster’, which clocks in at 2′10″ is an out-of-the gate hardcore matinee track with Kim singing salutes to French painter Yves Klein and Western Massachusetts noise artist Noise Nomads.

Shit, I don't have a account there...

thanks for info.

I sure hope my begn account will work around my lack of itune account.

have you entered yr code yet?

yes - I did. Shall I check the site again :D?

A'ight who's holdin'

oh yes!

nothing :(

we must probably wait a few hours :(

oh hang on, it is there but streaming only.

Well one more week and the entire thing will be out there

downloadable mp3 added :)

all hail BEGN!

only mp3? when i did the pavement begn they had mp3 and flac. still it's better than nothing i suppose.

hold on....is it on BEGN as well???

download the single here.

Well...it's short. But I like it.

It's okay I guess...

yep, i'm enjoying this song very much

can I say that this song is awesome?

Kim vocal effect is adorable.

I listened to the thirty second sample; I think I'll just wait until the album comes out.

i love to get on that site and find random "updates" ha ha !
like a breadcrumb trail.
slintish!
and I love how the mp3 is "mislabeled", gues thurston is the one curating this things ah ah a!

I liked this song to begin with, but damn.. this is fierce, they haven't sounded like this on a studio album in years. Steve Shelley is a monster I love him. Wow I want this album so bad now haha.

I request a noise breakdown added live at 1:20....just listen to the sound of those giutars...can you imagine a SKRONK interlude, than a nice reprise kinda like silver rocket. Yes we can.
btw, even short I like it quite a lot. great sounds.

"What's it like to be a girl in a band
I don't quite understand
That's so quaint to hear,
I feel so faint my dear"


The way she sings this is so just so sexy I swear.

decent.

moshe linked to matador's free mp3 link of the song on the first page.

i am excited.

no no, not decent.

very promising, my friends.

the production is PERFECT, dammit. I always wanted to hear this kind of guitar sound from SY on a CD... the guys will never cease to amaze me.

thumbs up!

I liked it better on my second listen!

This song fookin' delivers.
Expectations are high.

actually
huh
Where's the skronk???

Nice guitar tones.

read my post^^^

btw, the sound of guitars is ultracool and kim sings good.

^^^yeah i know.
It's really supposed to be there, right?
Oh well, the production is a lot thicker and very Goo in parts which is pleasing as they sound stronger and less ghey as on any RR track. ha ha.
yes the noise interlude, dOOd, it's all about the N.O.I.S.E.I.N.T.E.R.L.U.D.E, aka the muthafookin' skronK.

^what the fuick is this shit?
Where's THE hyphen?

Don't believe the hypen.

So it's a lesser song just because it doesn't have one? Isn't the noise breakdown/interlude a bit played out by now? They've done it for years, if they've decided to do away with it somewhat, then fine by me, I don't like it when bands remain stagnant

[Porky impression]Shut up twat, I'm right and you're wrong.[/Porky impression]

The album is going to be 30 minute-long

John is the bomb at production! Was talking to him a few weeks ago and he's working with Be Yr Own Pet next
