2009 repress. "
Silver Session
was taken from an evening when SY had to do vocal overdubs for
A Thousand Leaves
-- the band upstairs was hammering out some funky metal overdrive and we couldn't 'sing' properly (?!) -- we decided to fight fire with molten lava and turned every amp we owned on to 10+ and leaned as many guitars and basses we could plug in against them and roared/HOWLED like airplanes burning over the pacific -- we could only enter the room with hands pressed hard against our ears and even then it was physically stunning -- we ran a sick outmoded beatbox through the p.a. and it blew out horrendous distorted pulsations. Of course we recorded the whole thing and a few months later we mixed it down into sections, ultra-processing it to a wholly other 'piece' -- in a way, it's my favorite record of ours." -- Thurston/Sonic Youth/NYC 1998.

Catalog #:
SYR 003CD
"Third installment in the home-recorded, self-released series. CD packaged in mini-gatefold cardboard sleeve, vinyl pressed on the clearest of wax, all text in Esperanto. Three wild, spontaneous, improvised pulsations that exemplify contemporary abstraction at its most uninhibited." A 57 minute free form organic excursion that totally sounds like Sonic Youth without ever sounding anything like Sonic Youths' past output & an excellent continuation of this series.

"The sixth edition of the SYR series is a live recording of the April 12, 2003 benefit concert held at and for The Anthology Film Archives, the international center for the preservation, study, and exhibition of avant-garde and independent cinema. In addition to screening films for the public, AFA houses a film museum, research library and art gallery. The event, which raised money for the Archives and celebrated the life and work of avant-garde film maker Stan Brakhage, featured Sonic Youth providing an improvised instrumental collaboration with silent Brakhage films. The band performed with drummer/percussionist Tim Barnes (Essex Green, Jukeboxer, Silver Jews)."
