New Thurston release!
 

From the Ecstatic Peace newsletter:

Coming Soon: Lord Jeff, Servile Sect, MV Carbon, Vinyl releases from Hush Arbors, Leslie Keffer, Thurston Moore Solo, and more....

*jaw drops*

Thurston Moore... if you ever die I will find you and kill you.

Unless they are referring to the EPL release in December.

he played 2-3 new songs to start his solo set at ATP...maybe those are on this new release?

new thurston release most likely means new thurston tour. excellent!

looks like John Agnello is busy ...

Can't wait. I wonder if it'll be leaning more torward Trees or Psychic Hearts. Either way im down and can't wait for the tour.

Is this it?





After releasing two acclaimed solo LPs--1995's Psychic Hearts (DGC/Geffen Records) and 2007's Trees Outside the Academy (Ecstatic Peace Records)--Sonic Youth chief songwriter, singer and guitarist Thurston Moore now presents In Silver Rain with a Paper Key, a hardcover monograph containing two seven-inch vinyl records, as well as art, photographs, lyrics, poetry and other texts from Moore's personal notebooks and visual archives. The songs featured on the two seven-inch records include new compositions by Moore such as "You've Lost Your Lover," "Circulation" and "Blood." All of these songs were recorded in western Massachusetts on a 12-string acoustic guitar, and continue Moore's investigation of radical and personalized acoustic guitar, first heard on Trees Outside the Academy. With In Silver Rain with a Paper Key, Moore's well-known work as a poet, bookmaker, artist and editor is at last united with his legendary guitar virtuosity and songwriting skills. This highly collectible book-record constitutes a superb statement of Moore's many abilities.

Nope! Thurston will definitely be releasing another record besides this book. One on Ecstatic Peace and this book on Ecstatic Peace Library.

wowzers... gotta save some dough somehow

excited..
that's not even close to the word i was actually looking for..

Hey thanks guys for the replies, so no CD for this release? :(

I hope its not just another noise album, looking for more of a Trees album

There were already talks about this back in february:

why are SY afforded so many opportunities to engage in hideous vanity projects compared to almost any other band in history? i mean "visual archive" "texts from his personal notebooks"? For fuck's sake! Not to mention that those terms barely mean anything anyway.

I think its cool. It seems to be the new trend nowadays to release a book and shit, dvd with a release. See David Byrne, Bob Dylan et al. are releasing packages as opposed to standard music.

iTunes has proven that some people only want a few tracks instead of an album.

Maybe he is releasing crap on purpose to get you to mediate on the nature of the art you consume?

:(
for fans of just another noise album... 'suicide notes for acoustic guitar' is out now on Carbon Records

cool thanks

btw, even though its considered a "noise" album i think its abit of a different twist for Thurston, as to me it definitely sounds like he's shredding on an overdriven amplified acoustic guitar as opposed to his trademark jazzmaster tones... sorta minimal conceptually which is pretty awesome to me.

good work.
 

I'm not a huge fan of all his noise stuff.
But I thought this album was excellent.

Do you have plans for future Matador releases?
I’m working on a solo record right now, a fully fleshed-out recording of a bunch of new material I’ve been working on for the last year or so. I’m gonna record that end of October into November and try to get it out at some point in the new year, through Matador. I’ve liked working with Matador quite a bit. I really liked working with the publicist, Nils [Bernstein]. I think Chris and Gerard have a really good sense of what they’re doing. And all the in-house people there are good people—very devotional.

^ I was just about to post it. So it will be Matador and it will be at the beginning of 2011. Can't wait for this release.

I dont like his noise shit. But I like his free jazz shit. Wish he'd put out more of that.

Could you tell me some of the cool free jazz ones? Never heard any. Any you talking about like SYR3?

Hurricane Floyd is MUST OWN. Fuck Shit Up is really good too.

Thurston Moore doesn't play free jazz or any other kind of jazz.

no?

I'm with toilet, I wouldn't say that this is a jazz. It was with Lee & Jim at the Fishtank session though, imho.

I think we're splitting hairs. Who gives a shit. You all know what I'm talking about. I'd rather hear distinguishable instruments played by a duo/trio/quartet whatever (Cline, Parker, Pratti, etc) doing improv. I don't want to hear something that sounds like a fucking merzbow hair dryer.

You're right (who cares) Duo Cline/Moore was great too, I think it was calles Pillow Wand or something, haven't listened to this for ages... As well as Shamballa! and a calmer one called Promise.

edit: Ok and Barefoot.

edit2: Three incredible ideas?

I didn't like Barefoot In The Head. The Promise is great. The Nels Cline due put out Pillow Wand and a live one. Both are awesome. Shambala! is of course excellent!! William Parker FTW!

Haha cheers, I need to check once again the Barefoot. I thought I always liked this one, but haven't listened to Thurston's solo stuff for a long, long time. Yeah Parker is a great. I've never listened to the live one w/ Cline, need to find this one, how is this called?

Dream Aktion Unit - Blood Shadow Rampage is awesome

So is the the Roadhouse Sessions (w/ Shoup/Flaherty/Corsano)

and the EP release of him w/ Nace & Flaherty

those are my three favs. of recent thats more free jazzy but noisey too.
Original Silence stuff is good too but way to busy sounding for sustained listening, liek the diskaholics stuff too...


wish there was a formal release of Vampire Belt (Corsano/Nace) + him... and him with Daniel Carter and a better one of him w/ White Out, not particularly into Senso as much as i thought i would.

I think it's just called IN STORE
