I say "leftovers" only because it seems like CLM may be on hiatus/finished due to the relocation. The video being released as Thurston Moore rather than CLM is what leads me to think this.
Could be wrong about everything, maybe CLM will remain his "North American touring band"?

I think it's better that Thurston is making music as a leading artist and not trying to start a band. CLM was just a backing band for Thurston, not a real band with collective ideas. Thurston needs to relax and start to write great songs again. It seems he's trying too hard to convince that he's okay and well without Sonic Youth. Probably he's the one who needs SY the most.
