SONIC YOUTH - BAD MOON RISING
1985 sophomore album, back in print! CD and LP
download card add four bonus tracks.


Features "Death Valley '69" with Lydia Lunch. EVOL, Sister
and Confusion Is Sex reissues will follow this release. Sonic
Youth's second full-length LP Bad Moon Rising was originally
released on Homestead and Blast First in 1985. The album is
a fascinating examination of "the junction where hippie
idealism [meets] the cold hard world," says guitarist Lee
Ranaldo, "where Woodstock [meets] Altamont-Death Valley,
Charles Manson, Brian Wilson, musicians, murderers, heroes
and villains." Its original eight-song tapestry of droning guitar
feedback, distant clattering percussion, and sullen vocals, all
held together with interstitial noise loops and shadowy haze,
ambles through a long, dark night before the feverish "Death
Valley '69," driven by runaway guitar riffs and a frantic
Thurston Moore / Lydia Lunch vocal duet, pounds the
capstone into place. Sonic Youth's big leap forward from
Confusion Is Sex and Kill Yr Idols "reflects the spirit of the
time," to quote All Music Guide. Bad Moon Rising views
"American gothic through the glassy eyes of wilful moonlit
paranoia." Back in print on Goofin' Records, this reissue
includes bonus tracks "Flower" and "Halloween," both from a
12"single of the same era. The sound collage morsels "Satan
Is Boring" and "Echo Canyon" are your cue to begin moving
toward the exit and get out while you can.
