Sonic Youth, formed in New York City in 1981, is a highly influential band that emerged from the No-Wave music scene. Comprised of Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Kim Gordon, and Richard Edson initially, they later added drummer Steve Shelley. With their roots in experimental music and collaborations with Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth has consistently pushed boundaries throughout their career.

Over the years, Sonic Youth recorded 15 albums together and embarked on various side and solo projects. Their work is known for its challenging and innovative nature, making them one of the most intriguing bands of their time. The album "Sonic Nurse," featuring Jim O'Rourke's talents alongside the band members', further solidified their reputation.

In 2011, Sonic Youth went on an indefinite hiatus following the separation of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore after nearly three decades of marriage. Despite this setback, their impact on alternative rock remains undeniable.

here is what thurston moore said in 1998....silver sessions was taken from an evening when sonic youth had to do vocal overdubs for a thousand leaves - a band upstairs was hammering out some funky metal overdrive and we couldn't 'sing' properly. we decided to fight fire with molten lava and turned every amp we owned on to 10+ and leaned as many guitars and basses we could plug in against them and they roared and howled like airplanes burning over the pacific - we could only enter the playing room with hands pressed hard against our ears and even then it was physically stunning. we ran a sick outmoded beatbox through the p.a. and it blew out horrendous distorted pulsations. of course we recorded the whole thing and a few months later we mixed it down into sections, ultra-processing it to a wholly other 'piece' in a way, it's my favorite record of ours i hope jason digs it. keep on keep on keep on.
