Sonic Youth were still cranking out incredible music upon their dissolution in the early 2010s, and now we get to hear quite a bit more of it.

The Eternal, complete with its "heavy ass weirdo hooks," is Sonic Youth's 16th album, but the band (now with Mark Ibold) come off as energized as ever in this clip of them performing the Lee Ranaldo track "What We Know" on Jools Holland. Lee's songs nail a sort of blustery darkness that makes me think of a NYC pulse that doesn't actually exist ...
