New Sonic Youth THE ETERNAL out June 9

[Big Al]

From the Dallas and Austin Concerts thread:

The Eternal is supposedly their best in some several years, a phrase which I've heard many a time and I don't think they've really caught a good stride since about 1996. But still, it's SY... so I'll probably buy it.

Oh I plan on having it in my hands on the day of release, and I think SY is the only group whose recordings compel me to do that. AFAIC, they've been on a roll since Murray Street, with each album getting better and better. So yeah, I'm excited about this one!

I did the Buy Early Get Now and have been enjoying the two advance download tracks. Sounds like another great lp, just like the last three. Mark Ibold on bass! SY still sound fresh to my ears after all these years.

I kind of feel the same way Big A. I like what they've been doing. I had no idea another album was in the works.
