*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.

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?
