Fucking awesome! I can't wait. Thanks for posting Moshe!

"Mark Ibold is a Trademark of Matador Records."

So Mark is photo'd with them now. But he's not like "in the band" right? He's only on the one studio track? Is he still in the touring band?

bigger cover for you:

This is still weird... sonic-youth.

sonic less youth

"-" is for mark ibold.

Is it really?

 

 

 

Didn't bother to look for this, but does the vinyl come with the cd with the Matador Early Order shiz?

We dont know what comes with the preorder yet.

HOT DAMN.

The cover makes it look like it's the latest Fall record. Not a fan of it though. Can't wait for the music, however.

The cover makes me think of cakes.

The cover reminds me of the Fire Music Lp by Archie Shepp



- and yeah, that's a good thing

The cover subsequently fit's the studio picture, that 60's-70's vibe - ooooh.

You've got a point, NR. The dash hasn't been in their name in a looooong time, though, has it?

Cover is great.

Mark should be a full member.

Album title seemed improbable
Tracklisting felt improbable
Cover art looks improbable

Now I'm just hoping that the music will be improbable as well

Sonic Youth are:
Steve Shelley
Lee Ranaldo
Kim Gordon
Thurston Moore
Mark Ibold

Did the title 'Walkin Blue' replace 'trash weasels and gutter snipes'? Also, I prefer 'Malibu Gas Station' over the potential (although unlikely) 'Something About a Malibu Gas Station,' and 'Thunderclap For Bobby Pyn' sounds WAY cooler than just 'Bobby Pyn.' The term 'thunderclap' in a Sonic Youth song title gives me high hopes for this track. Please bring the noise, even if it's in a Detroit rock style.
