So, while I do understand that Sonic Youth came out of New York's No Wave scene, I still feel like Sonic Youth's brilliance was born in the desert wastes of California. There's a doom there never revealed until them. Death Valley '69. The Mojave Desert of the Gila Monster Jamboree. Are early Sonic Youth an urban depression or a natural nightmare?
I may be partial to the desert despair as I feel it informs me. I used to backpack the Sierra. But couldn't it be both? Somewhere between the two?
