I thought Body / Head was the something new......the something good coming from the Sonic Youth hiatus.
When listening to Lee Ranaldo's, "Fire Island (Phases)," I'm reminded he could so easily make the modern day version of a "classic rock album." aka Allman Brothers, Traffic, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young all rolled into one.
Granted, the "concept" may not be totally new, but being able to do so today when others don't is new in it's own way.
