Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fifth installment in Sonic Youth's experimental imprint series brings together Kim Gordon's abstract vocalizations and guitar scraping with avant-garde electronic manipulation. DJ Olive's turntablism and Ikue Mori's laptop-based drum machine programming collide in a series of highly improvisational, abrasive electroacoustic soundscapes.
