Daydream Library Series

The Daydream Library Series of records and tapes is the independent house label of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and Eva Prinz's publishing imprint Ecstatic Peace Library. The Daydream Series was established in 2018 to provide a label for emerging musicians, both local and international. In this series curated by Eva Prinz, Thurston Moore, and Abby Banks, a limited-edition number of vinyl or cassette albums will be released in a pristine "collector's edition" package with the highest quality recordings, impeccable design and will include handmade fanzines with the album's liner notes, interviews with the bands. The first year of releases will offer genre-crossing music including opera, classical, punk rock, and sound-healing. Each album in The Daydream Library Series will include a limited-edition fanzine edited by Eva and Thurston with the musicians.

Thurston Moore is an American guitarist and vocalist, born on 25 July 1958 in Coral Gables, Florida. He co-founded Sonic Youth in 1981 and is best known for his role as the band's guitarist and vocalist. Raised in Bethel, Connecticut, he was taught guitar by Glenn Branca. Thurston Moore married Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon in 1984, but they separated in 2011 and divorced in 2013. Alongside his music career, he also runs the Ecstatic Peace! label.

Thurston Moore is a renowned American guitarist and vocalist who gained fame as a founding member of Sonic Youth. Born on July 25th, 1958 in Coral Gables, Florida and raised in Bethel, Connecticut; he received guitar lessons from the esteemed Glenn Branca. Although based primarily in New York City throughout his music career, Thurston has recently relocated to Stoke Newington, United Kingdom.

In addition to being a prominent musician with Sonic Youth since its establishment in 1981 alongside other talented members such as Kim Gordon (whom he married), Thurston Moore has also ventured into running the Ecstatic Peace! label. This multifaceted artist continues to leave an indelible mark on the music industry through his exceptional talents both as a performer and entrepreneur.

Originally released in 2007 This was Thurston's first solo outing since 1995's Psychic Hearts. Thurston recorded primarily on acoustic guitar and bass, laying down the core of the tunes with drummer compatriot Sonic Youth's Steve Shelly and violinist Samara Lubelski, a noted player from MV/EE and The Golden Road, Hall of Fame and other awesome gatherings as well as solo artiste. Thurston grabbed John Agnello to record and mix the sucker after having a helluva good time with the bro from working on Sonic Youth's 2006 killer Rather Ripped. They decided to work in Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis' Bisquiteen studio (the top floor in J's Amherst house actually) where Dino did their Beyond album. This worked out very nicely as it allowed Thurston to yell down the stairs every time he needed a shredding guitar solo and J would trundle up, plug in and Burn. Other guests are Christina Carter, she of Charalambides, and she of the most beatific, beautific voice on land, sea and air. One track called Honest James has Thurston and Christina singing duet against a single acoustic guitar and it is a naked groove. The otherworldly Canadian musician Andrew Macgregor aka "Gown" plays some spectacularly understated and incredible guitar and Sunburned Hand of The Man's John Moloney takes over the drum stool to absolutely flail on the pit snarling Wonderful Witches. And then there's the 20 seconds or so of primal noise wave courtesy of American noise underground genius Leslie Keffer on Off Work. Most of the tunes are lyric driven but there are a couple of majestic instrumentals like Trees Outside The Academy, which brings the album to a musical and breathless close. There's also some weird cassette tape that Thurston found at his mom's of him at 13 years old in the early 70s making some kind of sound-theatre.
