I have been a huge Sonic Youth since the first time I ever heard them back in 1990 while in college. I like pretty much all of their albums (except for maybe NYC Ghosts and Flowers, I've still not quite warmed up to that one). I have never really gotten that much out of the individual members' solo material or non-Sonic collaborations with other artists. Until now. The new solo album from Thurston Moore, Trees Outside the Academy, is fantastic. The songs are primarily acoustic; and they sound like some of Thurston's catchier Sonic tunes done in a much quieter setting. J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. plays lead guitar on a few of the songs, as well.
I found this interesting interview of Thurston conducted by the BBC, where he talks about the making of the new record.
The Dark Stuff is an online music magazine and podcast that focuses primarily (though not exclusively) on independent artists that perform in Omaha, Nebraska and the Midwest.
