After 25 years of no-wave noise under their belts you would expect to hear some sort of celebration upon their (SY) return to NY. "No, we really haven't thought about that", he (Thurston) says, with a flip of his shaggy head. "In a way it might be kind of strange if we bought gifts for each other or something like that. We buy gifts for each other on holidays and stuff, but we're definitely not a lovey-dovey band."
With Rather Ripped SY blatantly stepped away from the ambience and expanse found on their other albums. Why? "Because everyone else is doing it. We didn't really feel that we had to prove ourselves as a noise band; kind of more interesting to not do that. In fact I was emailing my friends in noise bands and writing that our new record sounds like a fuckin' Blondie record and they would be like "Cool!" "The next record is gonna be like scream, noise annihilation", he says with a playful laugh that you don't know whether ot not to take seriously.
