Sonic Youth - Nyc Ghosts And Flowers

Sonic Youth: Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley.Additional personnel: Rafael Toral (guitar); Jim O'Rourke (bass); William Winant (percussion).Principally recorded in New York, New York in August 1999.Continuing their high-brow path towards avant-garde guitar music and away from their late '80s punk-influenced style of controlled cacophony, Sonic Youth have continued to make it difficult for fans to follow their evolving style of influential alternative rock. With the aid of renowned producer Jim O'Rourke, this iconic group has stripped away much of the murky sound that polluted its late '80s masterpieces such as Daydream Nation and Sister. This new style of clean production on NYC Ghosts & Flowers also differs from the group's early '90s sound partly attributed to Butch Vig on colorful albums such as Dirty and Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star, where Vig masterfully juxtaposed the group's knack for noise with his gift for salient production.
