Album Notes & Community Reviews

Created in the wake of losing most of their custom gear to theft, 'NYC Ghosts & Flowers' is a highly abstract, avant-garde exploration of noise rock. Sonic Youth utilizes beat poetry and highly dissonant, surreal soundscapes to reflect a distinctly anxious, urban New York atmosphere.

Genres

Descriptors: avant-garde, dissonant, noisy, experimental, atmospheric, distorted
