![]() I pretty much picked up ‘EVOL’ and ‘Sister’ on the same day.Īs such, although 12 months separates their release this writer sees the two Sonic Youth albums as something of a matching pair and they really don’t make that much sense on their own. And after repeatedly playing that tape over and over off I went to pick up whatever I could get my hands on by the band. Songs like ‘Brother James’ and ‘The Burning Spear’ connected much more with me than their later major label recordings. The rock sheen of ‘Daydream Nation’ wasn’t present and a far more experimental side appeared. Someone I knew who had worked closely with the band in New York kindly made me a mix tape of most of their early recordings, like their eponymous debut and the ‘Kill Yr Idols’ EP. But I certainly can remember when listening to the band really made sense. It was probably around the release of their highly acclaimed double album ‘Daydream Nation’. It is difficult for me to actually recollect when I first heard the New York quartet that had grown out of the city’s No Wave loft scene.
