Thurston Moore reveals plans to NME.COM
Sonic Youth a preparing to write a brand new album, which the band aim to release early next year.
The band performed two songs songs
‘Jams Run Free’ and
‘Cool Thing’ during the
Marc Jacobs runway show at the
Armory on
Lexington Ave on Friday night, and speaking after the show,
Thurston Moore said they’re gearing up to write the follow-up to 2006's
'Rather Ripped' this spring.
‘We haven’t gotten together in about four months, we’ve been taking a nice sort of break, which is good. I’ve been actually able to escape into the basement. We’re going to Australia next week for about two weeks then we’ll come back and start writing.’
Meanwhile,
Moore will perform at
SXSW in March, which he will attend with
Ecstatic Peace acts
Awesome Color and
Tall Firs.
‘We just go down there just for fun. It’s kind of a weird thing because the bands don’t really make any money, hardly at all, and we tell them if you want to come and play, come and play but there’s not any money and you’ve gotta sleep in the street! It’s like 75 degrees, blue skies, and there’s barbecues… good times!”
