Sonic Youth 'Sonic Nurse'

After twenty-three years of explosive creativity sonic youth throws down what may be their heaviest classic since the genre-breaking daydream nation.

Nurse is the nineteenth long player by the new york city supernova, an action explosion time magazine has already tagged as “sonic youth’s most adventurous and soul-stirring release to date, by a goddamn country mile.”

Ten songs of american beauty and sonic death: on “pattern recognition” kim gordon takes justin timberlake’s hand and sticks it in a tendon-shredding meat grinder; they gay marriage the hell out of religious zealot war pigs cheney, rumsfeld, bush and ashcroft with the meditative “peace attack”; bare trees-era fleetwood mac jams with jealous again-era black flag on the heart-pounding “unmade bed” and “i love You golden blue”; the core reactor awesomeness of “paper cup exit” reduces such legends as led zeppelin and yes to just so much british schoolboy whimpering.
