SY mentioned in EW's "Must Hear Albums" Summer Music Preview

atari 2600 · 05.22.2006, 05:54 PM

Sonic Youth
Rather Ripped
Once again a quartet after the departure of multi-instrumentalist Jim O'Rourke, the long-running avant-rock band release their 20th album. It's a softer, more introverted take on the classic SY sound than their last few outings, scaling back the noise and amping up the tunes.
6/13

A few more of note from the current issue of Entertainment Weekly...

Frank Black - Fastman Raiderman 6/20
Thom Yorke - The Eraser 7/11
Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche (outtakes from Illinois) 7/11
Los Lonely Boys - Sacred 7/18
New York Dolls - One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This (Johansen & Sylvain)
Tom Petty - Highway Companion (TP returns with a third solo album produced by Jeff Lynne & with Mike Campbell guesting, of course) 7/25
Pharrell Williams - In My Mind 7/25
DJ Shadow - The Outsider 8/1
Mars Volta - Still Untitled (John Frusciante guests) 8/15
Johnny Cash - American V: A Hundred Highways (previously unreleased outtakes from Rick Rubin's vault) 7/4

Sonic Youth also are the only band that gets two mentions in the "Must See Tours" article. They got a mention for Bonnaroo & also a separate listing of their own.

Sonic Youth
Who said Youth is wasted on the young? Now celebrating 25 years together and a new album, Rather Ripped, New York's beloved noise-rockers split their shows between festival appearances (Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza), dates supporting Pearl Jam, and their own headlining gigs, traversing the country from sea to Sonic sea.

I just got Entroducing... and heard it for the first time a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. Will definitely picking this up, as well as some of his other stuff. Any recommendations?

^Dude buy Preemptive Strike ASAP....I think it blows Endtroducing out of the water. The Private Press is really good too and if you really want to get wild then pick up his DVD Live! In Tune and on Time.
