SONIC YOUTH FORUM

Hi,

wie es scheint gibt es in der ersten Hälfte des nächsten Jahres ein neues Album von Sonic Youth! Neun Songs sind anscheinend schon so gut wie aufgenommen. (unebdingt mal wieder in die echo-cam schauen!)

Lee Ranaldo über den Stand der Aufnahmen:

"It's always hard to say at this point. It hasn't taken on its own life yet. Some of it seems to be an extension of the last couple of records, but some hearkens forward into territory and also back to earlier, more dissonant and atonal stuff we've done. There's definitely some rocking songs and also some sound piece-y kind of things that are pretty interesting as well."

Und über den Ausstieg von Jim O´Rouke:

"Jim is going through a lot of different stuff personally and about where he sees his future. He's really interested in pursuing stuff outside the musical arena, particularly film work. Not necessarily soundtrack work, but making films and getting involved in that community. There was never any kind of binding agreement with us.
We want what is best for him. That's not to say either individually some of us won't continue to work with him, or that in a group setting he won't ever be involved again. But for the next phase though, we're developing all this new material without him. He won't be involved in the production."

Außerdem werden SY anlässlich des 25-jährigen Bandbestehens im nächsten Jahr ein "retrospective tour" starten. Erstes Konzert voraussichtlich in Wien!
