Our Take

Ah, Murray Street. The album that once again proves Sonic Youth's ability to effortlessly blend noise and melody into a cacophonous symphony of sonic goodness. With their 12th studio album, the New York legends deliver a masterclass in experimental rock that is as cohesive as it is chaotic.

From the opening track "The Empty Page," Sonic Youth waste no time in hitting us with their trademark dissonant guitar riffs and Kim Gordon's haunting vocals. Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo's virtuosic guitar work shines throughout the album, with tracks like "Rain on Tin" and "Karen Revisited" showcasing their undeniable chemistry as guitarists.

But what truly sets Murray Street apart is its ability to evolve and surprise. Tracks like "Disconnection Notice" and "Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style" take unexpected turns, showcasing Sonic Youth's willingness to push boundaries and experiment with their sound.

As always, Sonic Youth's lyrics are enigmatic and thought-provoking, touching on themes of urban life, relationships, and existential angst. Gordon's vocals are as mesmerising as ever, adding an extra layer of depth to the band's already complex sound.

In conclusion, Murray Street is a testament to Sonic Youth's enduring creativity and influence in the world of alternative rock. A must-listen for any fan of experimental music or anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. Sit back, crank up the volume, and let Sonic Youth take you on a journey unlike any other.
