Bonner Kramer + Thurston Moore

Longtime New York journeyman musician and composer Bonner Kramer is pairing with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore for upcoming new album "The Came Like Swallows: Seven Requiems for the Children of Gaza."  The record combines elements of psych, improvisational jazz, noise rock, and more to craft a delirious collage of sounds.  Check out "Urn Burial" below and pre-order the LP here from Silver Current Records.

Thurston Moore - Strawberry Moon

I guess we had a pink, strawberry moon a few nights ago, and Thurston Moore recorded a music piece to accompany it.  "Strawberry Moon" is a sprawling, droning trio of guitars creating a soothing hum with maybe something more ominous bubbling beneath.  Check it out and get it here.

Thurston Moore - Sunday Stage

After Sonic Youth broke up, and broke our hearts, Thurston Moore tooled around with a project called Chelsea Light Moving for a couple of years.  And over the weekend, he released a song from that era for our listening consumption.  Yep, it sounds like a Thurston Moore song.  Check out "Sunday Stage" below and download it here.

Thurston Moore - Aphrodite

While i'm not one to dissuade a music artist from tackling any and all manner of sounds he or she wants to attempt, digging on the roads less travelled and all that good shit, i've still got to admit that an impressive return to form from an all time favorite gets me a little giddy.  Ex-Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore's latest solo output, the noisy and swirling guitar rock of "Rock n Roll Consciousness" feels like the best work he's done in years, and goes off like a kind of nostalgia bomb in my head, but not detrimentally so.  Get the album from Caroline International and watch the video for "Aphrodite" below.  It looks and sounds like something we all would have seen and loved on "120 Minutes" back in the day.

Thurston Moore - Cease Fire

As one of my idols when i was growing up, i'm always excited to get new music in any capacity from Thurston Moore.  It's too bad he's turned out to be such an asshole.  Anyway, his new standalone single "Cease Fire" is out now, and it's a pretty cool piece of crunchy alt-rock that taps that Sonic Youth vein that so needs a tapping every now and then.  Listen below and download it here.
