Sonic Youth ready new album





Sonic Youth


Thurston and co aim to release the new album this June

Sonic Youth are in the final stages of recording their new album.

The band say they hope to release the record, which currently has a working title of 'The Eternal', this June.

Thurston Moore told NME's sister publication Uncut that the band were focussing on making "a record replete with juicy supersonic songs!"

The record will be the band's first featuring newly-written material since 2006's 'Rather Ripped'.

As NME.COM previously reported, the band's Kim Gordon is in the process of launching her own clothing line, Mirror/Dash.

'The Eternal' will be Sonic Youth's first release on Matador Records.

fucking awesome.

Hooray, a vague date is set!

It's sounds like lies to sell to me. I'll wait for a month or two to believe that.

When I said "it's sounds like lies to sell to me" I mean the news from the magazine. Probably it's true, but I prefer MOSHE news. They are all true from the beginning. :cool:

Yeah, remember when Moshe told us all about the Sub Pop single? Turned
out to be the best thing I'd heard from SY in years!

bullshit. I mean I like Moshe's news. but I like when someone other will find something interesting. Moshe's got free time , at least. :)

thanks Phantophobia for excellent news, can't wait to June... I was hoping that they will realese it earlier, why it will take so many time? they have almost full material...

Thanks for posting this, Panto! Juicy supersonic songs are exactly what I was hoping for on the next record! :)

I like Pantophobia's news. Don't know about his girlfriend. :)

Here is the info I have:

The band has been working in their recording studio w/ John Agnello, Aaron
Mullan and Mark Ibold.
They are about to complete overdub recording and start mixing this weekend
for their new record tentatively titled 'The Eternal'.

The album will possibly be completed by the end of this month for a possible
June 2009 release on Matador.

it is possible that the band will tour this June.

Sounds awesome! I like the title, even though it is a simple one. Thanks for the additional info Moshe.

this is amazing news
i can't wait to see the artwork too

Que?

ahahah

yeah I'm wondering when some cover art will surface, at the main page or somewhere else.. they will give us some excerpts for sure, when they will finish mixing it.

you remember when thurston finished his album 'trees outside..' mp3 where very quickly on torrents, and I remember that he was releasing material two months later, or even more. (?)

The Eternal what?

What a terrible title. This album should be called "Quadraphonic Jizzbomb".

I agree. I want an explanation.

same here.

Rolling stone.com just picked up the same story, so chances are its not just made up.,

"The Enternal" is the name of a Joy Division song.

Terrible title, then.
