New York experimentalists Sonic Youth’s three decades of atonal art grunge are over.
Thurston Moore now channels their signature sounds with Chelsea Light Moving.
A liberated Lee Ranaldo weaves once verboten psychedelia with The Dust.
And Kim Gordon, now 60, essays uncompromising guitar drones with Bill Nace as Body/Head, her keening bellow swaying amidst the swell.
Leavening art loft procedures with visceral anguish, and flying the free female freak flag Patty Waters folded forty-five years ago, Gordon is the Sonic survivor to watch.
