Goofin' is a renowned music label founded by the iconic band Sonic Youth. As the band's own label, Goofin' specializes in reissuing their regular albums and exclusive recordings in both vinyl and compact disc formats. With a name derived from combining "Goo" and "Geffen," Goofin' has established itself as an authoritative source for *Sonic Youth* enthusiasts seeking high-quality releases. Whether you're a dedicated fan or new to their unique sound, Goofin' offers a diverse selection of music that captures the essence of Sonic Youth's groundbreaking artistry.

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.

1985 sophomore album, back in print! CD and LP download card add four bonus tracks. Features 'Death Valley '69' with Lydia Lunch. Sonic Youth's second full-length LP 'Bad Moon Rising' was originally released on Homestead and Blast First in 1985. The album is a fascinating examination of "the junction where hippie idealism [meets] the cold hard world," says guitarist Lee Ranaldo, "where Woodstock [meets] Altamont - Death Valley, Charles Manson, Brian Wilson, musicians, murderers, heroes and villains." Its original eight-song tapestry of droning guitar feedback, distant clattering percussion, and sullen vocals, all held together with interstitial noise loops and shadowy haze, ambles through a long, dark night before the feverish 'Death Valley '69,' driven by runaway guitar riffs and a frantic Thurston Moore / Lydia Lunch vocal duet, pounds the capstone into place.
