Great news!

greedrex · 03.11.2011, 06:22 AM

So Steve isn't on the drums this time. I'm scared.

greedrex · 03.11.2011, 06:23 AM

the artwork is ludicrously horrible.

Jeremy · 03.11.2011, 06:35 AM

I actually think it's pretty interesting.

With all the love I have for Steve drums, this time I have to say it's good that we have everything in other way and other production guy named Beck.

It looks like he liked Record's Club artworks.

Not the best typography around, though it looks better in demolished thoughts than on Thurston Moore, I thought they will make something better too. Looks like Thurston is not going to convince undeclared listeners by the cute cover.

Chris Lawrence · 03.11.2011, 03:09 PM

better than the last cover!

"On Tuesday May 24*, Matador will be releasing ‘Demolished Thoughts’, the 4th solo album from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore (5th if you count 1998′s ‘Root’)"

er... first off, why the hell would you count 'Root', and then:

1. Psychic Hearts
2. Trees Outside the Academy
3... ?

What are they considering the 3rd solo album? I realize he's released about six thousand solo albums of varying degrees of improvisation, but as for song-based 'solo albums' I'm at a loss to name a third...

i always enjoyed joey waronker's drumming, and he seems better suited to play with thurston than when he spent a few years w/ R.E.M.

toxic johnny · 03.11.2011, 03:25 PM

Lovin' the cover...

3... Sensitive/Lethal ? this was by far his highest profile noise/Improv album.

mil_pl · 03.11.2011, 03:39 PM

Why not count Root, Chris? Always liked this one's idea and few tracks on it, also it's cover.

Chris Lawrence · 03.11.2011, 05:27 PM

it's the exact opposite of a solo album though, it's thurston making a racket and a bunch of other people doing all the work to process his sounds into different ideas (that sounds slightly dismissive, but my point is that it doesn't qualify as a 'singer songwriter' style solo album anymore than the dozens of other noise records he's released).

as for root itself, it was never my favorite but some of the tracks work, and the acoustic schizophrenia is certainly neat...

themawt71 · 03.11.2011, 11:17 PM

i think they mean the solo acoustic thurston disc as the 4th.

Pelle · 03.12.2011, 04:50 AM

The cover wasn't ugly, but it could defenitly be looking better.

chrome noise tape · 03.12.2011, 05:56 PM

i don't care much for the artcover but this time i think this pic will be better for the album title ‘Demolished Thoughts’...i'm expecting a great sound

Adolfo · 03.12.2011, 08:41 PM

this album is going to rock so much. already trying to play "You lost your lover" (or whatever it's called). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqo1DdksbPM

You Lost Yr Lover: DDAF#AD

There was a time when you could find him
Just by staring at the sky
A perfect stranger, out of nowhere
Nothing to do, nowhere to hide

And he disappears today
Where he goes he cannot say
The silver rain is all you see
You lost your lover

I seem to recall sometime last fall
Brown leaves crowned around your head
Now i'm back in town, and i'm looking around
Will i ever see your eyes again?

Where did you disappear today?
I turn the corner ()
Silver rain with the paper key
You lost your lover

Where can I see the original artwork?

I so was just researching Thurston's solo material and came across this..

Kevin Shields & Thurston Moore Split 7"
http://www.discogs.com/Kevin-Shields...elease/1703951

I was initially overwhelmed with joy that two of my favourite guitarists did a split together... apparently its A WOMEN NAMED KEVIN SHIELDS from some band called Gang Wizard that had some albums on Ecstatic Peace! A real head scratcher.

I really wanna hear the Blindfold cassette!

^was it the itunes acoustic sessions thing? Live in Soho I think?

Mortte Jousimo · 03.13.2011, 04:46 AM
