“Heavy ass weirdo hooks aplenty,” are words coming from Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore concerning the band’s forthcoming, still untitled Matador Records debut set for release this summer. Moore told Billboard, “When I started writing, I was immersed in listening to the Wipers. ‘No Way,’ the first song we recorded, has a total Wipers vibe, if the Wipers were a No Wave band.”
Thurston also pointed to black metal bands for lyrical inspiration, but won’t be emulating their delivery. He also promised, We’re still Sonic Youth. I still don’t know how to play the guitar.”http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/sonic-youth-staying-weird-on-matador-debut-1003931425.story
