Sonic Youth reveal album details
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 13 February 2009
Sonic Youth have revealed full details of their previously announced 16th studio album, which will be released via Matador on 8 Jun.
Entitled ‘The Eternal’, it was produced by John Agnello in November and December last year at the band’s Echo Canyon West studio in Hoboken, New Jersey. It is also the first recording with former Pavement bassist Mark Ibold, who has been a member of the live band for a number of years.
Of ‘The Eternal’, Matador’s Gerard Cosloy says: “We’ve not had a record in our recent history that’s been the subject of nearly as much speculation and anticipation. Suffice to say we’re pretty amazed at the way the band delivered something this neoteric while still sounding like, well, themselves. Less of a reinvention and perhaps more to do with a particularly awesome dozen songs”.
