New York-Yastad available now
July 24, 2006

"New York-Yastad", also known as "Without Kim", is available now on the Olof Bright web site. The CD which was part of the limited edition "Black Box" features Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Steve Shelley with Mats Gustafsson. I'm not sure how many copies are left but it is a must have for any Sonic Youth collector. Also available on that site is Jim O'Rourke "jim:hotel:computer".

Sonic Youth, initially comprising of guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and have now recorded 14 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time.
