Sonic Youth's 16th (quite satisfying) album The Eternal opens with the Yves Klein/Noise Nomads-referencing "Sacred Trickster," a track you may have seen performed live to Letterman. It's the briefest song on the album, a mix of art-rock elegance and feedback splutters, i.e. a good use of nods to French painters and Western Mass noisemakers. The video, directed by downtown fixture (and T. Moore collaborator) Tom Surgal, follows suit by following three girls to the hardware store, wig shop, and etc., in preparation for their Yves Klein-themed revolution. I've always talked about how, as a youngster, Sonic Youth's liner notes taught me about certain aspects of punk-rock history and the underground: Here, note the references to Magik Markers, Burning Star Core, the Blue Humans, Arthur Doyle, Patti Smith, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, and, yes, the aforementioned Noise Nomads and Klein via some crafty product placement. Plus tons more.Continue reading New Sonic Youth Video - "Sacred Trickster"...

It is difficult to imagine indie rock without Sonic Youth. Only the Velvet Underground can reasonably boast a more important alternative history to the grand narrative of rock and roll. Combining the methodology of no-wave, the populism of punk, and the urbanity of the New York City art world, the band excelled at — nay, [...]
