SYR 7 Available April 22
The seventh installment of Sonic Youth's series of experimental + sometimes instrumental releases will be available on April 22, 2008 in a vinyl-only edition self-released on the band's own SYR label. The A-side, 'J'accuse Ted Hughes' is a previously unreleased 22 minute drone-piece recorded by Sonic Youth at the All Tomorrows Parties Festival in the UK April 2001. At ATP the band previewed instrumental and early versions of songs from the then soon-to-be recorded 'NYC Ghosts and Flowers' and performed this premiere + exclusive performance of 'J'accuse Ted Hughes'. The B-side, 'Agnes B Musique' is a soundtrack-style piece recorded at the band's own Murray Street Studio in 2001 for a never-to-be realized collaboration with French clothing designer Agnes B. This 18 minute long musical piece was recorded with a 5-piece version of SY, the 4 members of SY being joined by Jim O'Rourke who also mixed 'Agnes B Musique'. SYR 7 and the recently released 'Master-Dik' CD are available here.

I've always been a big fan of the SYR stuff so I'm looking forward to #7.

I hate to re-open a can-o-worms, but I can't help but picture how amazing that artwork would look as a CD digipack!

SYR6 didn't come out on vinyl at all.

really?
I remember when it came out (uk) i couldn't find it anywhere, then i got emails from people about its realease and got it. Thoughtn it was cause of different formats. Maybe it was released later over here. Or maybe i'm muddled
