"A Thousand Leaves" is the 10th studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth. The album features longer, extended songs and jams brought about by the band's newfound freedom to experiment without racking up costly studio time. Featuring the single Sunday, A Thousand Leaves broke into the top 40 in England and three other countries. This is the first album Sonic Youth recorded in its own studio in lower Manhattan.

Sonic Youth - Dirty (1992) 2CDs Expanded Deluxe Edition 2003 Music

Posted by Designol at Sept. 11, 2023

Deluxe Edition 2 CD set features 35 tracks including b-sides and previously unreleased versions. Sonic Youth's second major-label album, produced and mixed by Butch Vig and Andy Wallace (a team that had helped turn Nirvana's NEVERMIND multi-platinum) was not the barefaced bid for mainstream acceptance that surly underground souls grumbled about in the pages of fanzines. While Vig and Wallace give guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, bassist Kim Gordon, and phenomenal drummer Steve Shelley a wide-screen panorama for their bizarrely-tuned assaults, DIRTY is probably Sonic Youth's most uncompromising album since 1985's BAD MOON RISING–particularly in the lyrical department. Dropping the deliberate obscurantism, Philip K. Dick references, and smart-alecky snottiness, Sonic Youth brackets a slew of pointed political attacks ("Youth Against Fascism," "Swimsuit Issue," and the Jesse Helms-bashing "Chapel Hill") with two passionate tributes to the band members' murdered friend, Joe Cole ("100%" and "JC"). That DIRTY is Sonic Youth's most commercial-sounding album makes it that much more subversive.

Sonic Youth - Live in Brooklyn, Ny. (2023) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Aug. 17, 2023

In the promotional materials that accompany Live in Brooklyn 2011, Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo says "It was a pretty magical, if kinda weird day." As far as understatements go, that one's a pretty rich double whammy. When Sonic Youth took the stage at the Williamsburg Waterfront on August 12, it was not only their last U.S. show ever, but it was also a band that was imploding before the crowd's eyes. The marriage of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore—a relationship which had been both a creative and personal fulcrum of the band's entire history—was ending in a spectacularly acrimonious way, and two months later, the two would announce their separation after 27 years of marriage.

Beach Youth - Postcard (2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/44.1 kHz | Time - 32:13 minutes | 363 MB
Studio Master, Official Digital Download | Artwork: Front cover

While Postcard is the debut album of French indie pop group Beach Youth, it arrives eight years after they formed as students in Normandy and follows a pair of EPs as well as years of touring that helped focus their sound. That sound is a fetching mix of shimmery surf, Johnny Marr, classic indie pop, and dream pop influences perhaps most memorably illustrated on second track "Love Yourself II." It follows the druggy, airport-evoking, minute-long intro, "Love Yourself I," which serves to ask the question, "Why are you always so hard on yourself?" The band then launch into the effervescent Part II, whose brisk tempo, melodic guitar line, layers of strummed guitar, and tender vocals capture the romanticism of acts like the Field Mice and songs like the Cure's "In Between Days."

Sonic Youth - Goo (1990) Japanese SHM CD Reissue 2008 Music

Posted by Designol at Jan. 16, 2023

Any doubts as to the continuing relevance of Sonic Youth upon their jump to major-label status were quickly laid to rest by Goo, their follow-up to the monumental Daydream Nation. While paling in the shadow of its predecessor, the record is nevertheless a defiant call to arms against mainstream musical values; the Geffen logo adorning the disc is a moot point – Goo is, if anything, a portrait of Sonic Youth at their most self-indulgently noisy and contentious, covering topics ranging from Karen Carpenter ("Tunic") to UFOs ("Disappearer") to dating Jesus' mom ("Mary-Christ"). Even Public Enemy's Chuck D joins the fracas on the single "Kool Thing," which teeters on the brink of a cultural breakthrough but falls just shy of the mark; the same could be said of Goo itself – by no means a sellout, it nevertheless lacks the coherence and force of the group's finest work, and the opportunity to violently rattle the mainstream cage slips by.
