Goo is the sixth studio album by Sonic Youth. It was released on June 26, 1990 by record label DGC. The album was Sonic Youth's debut release on a major record label, after the band signed to Geffen Records following the release of Daydream Nation (1988). Goo was recorded over a short period in early 1990 at Sorcerer Sound Recording Studios and Greene St. Recording with Daydream Nation producer Nick Sansano and additional producer Ron Saint Germain. The album's sound diverged considerably from their earlier material and is often considered \"their most accessible album\", with elements of experimental rock, garage punk, alternative rock and hard rock. Lead single \"Kool Thing\" charted in the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland. Two other singles-\"Disappearer\" and \"Dirty Boots\"-were also released from the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 1 - Dirty Boots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 2 - Tunic (Song for Karen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 3 - Mary-Christ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 4 - Kool Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 5 - Mote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 1 - My Friend Goo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 2 - Disappearer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 3 - Mildred Pierce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 4 - Cinderella's Big Score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 5 - Scooter and Jinx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 6 - Titanium Expose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43944240578788,"sku":"GEFB002331801.1","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/3033165.jpg?v=1755969989"},{"product_id":"experimental-jet-set-trash-and-no-star-lp-vinyl-sonic-youth-sonic-youth-lp","title":"Experimental Jet Set Trash \u0026 No Star, Sonic Youth, LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited vinyl LP pressing. Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star is the eighth studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth, originally released in 1994 by DGC Records. It was produced by Butch Vig and recorded at Sear Sound studio in New York City, the same studio where the band's 1987 album Sister was recorded. Unlike it's predecessor Dirty, Experimental Jet Set features a more low-key approach and references the band's earlier work on the independent record label SST Records. The album contains quieter and more relaxed songs that deal with personal and political topics. Sonic Youth formed in 1981. Founding members Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) remained together for the entire history of the band, while Steve Shelley (drums) followed a series of short-term drummers in 1985, and rounded out the core line-up. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than it's specific sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 1 - Winner's Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 2 - Bull in the Heather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 3 - Starfield Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 4 - Skink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 5 - Screaming Skull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 6 - Self-Obsessed and Sexxee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 7 - Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 8 - Androgynous Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 9 - Quest for the Cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 10 - Waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 11 - Doctor's Orders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 12 - Tokyo Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 13 - In the Mind of the Bourgeois Reader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 14 - Sweet Shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43948513100004,"sku":"GEFB002331701.1","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/3004398.jpg?v=1756000057"},{"product_id":"evol-vinyl-sonic-youth-sonic-youth-lp","title":"Evol, Sonic Youth, LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing.

Washing Machine is the ninth studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth, released on September 26, 1995 by DGC Records. It was recorded at Easley Studios in Memphis, Tennessee and produced by the band and John Siket, who also engineered the band's previous two albums. The album features more open-ended pieces than it's predecessors and contains some of the band's longest songs, including the 20-minute ballad \"The Diamond Sea\", which is the lengthiest track to feature on any of Sonic Youth's studio albums. Washing Machine erased any notion that the band had run out of things to say. Easily their most adventurous, challenging, and best record since Daydream Nation, the album finds Sonic Youth returning to the fearless exploration of their SST records, but the group has found a way to work that into tighter song structures.

The album sold exceptionally well, reaching #6 in the UK Albums Chart (their highest charting album in the UK) and #83 in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 1 - 100%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 2 - Swimsuit Issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 3 - Theresa's Sound-World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 4 - Drunken Butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 1 - Shoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 2 - Wish Fulfillment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 3 - Sugar Kane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 2, Track: 4 - Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 1 - Youth Against Fascism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 2 - Nic Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 3 - On the Strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 3, Track: 4 - Chapel Hill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 4, Track: 1 - Stalker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 4, Track: 2 - JC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 4, Track: 3 - Purr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 4, Track: 4 - Creme Brulee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44237009289444,"sku":"GEFB002331601.1","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/3004362.jpg?v=1755999855"},{"product_id":"confusion-is-sex-sonic-youth-lp","title":"Confusion Is Sex, Sonic Youth, LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered reissue. Originally slated to be a seven-inch single to follow up their self-titled debut, Sonic Youth 's Confusion Is Sex blossomed into the band's first album: a brain-bludgeoning, completely fried endeavor of dissonance and disarray, a perfect soundtrack for running from a chain-wielding gang near the SIN Club. This was the sound of 1983 New York City: nothing like London where punks were starting to scrub their faces and sounds to get on Top of the Pops, and nothing like the jangly roots of college radio rock starting to formulate in Athens, Georgia. It sounded like no one else on Earth, for that matter. The raw, Wharton Tiers 8-track production is dark, the Kim Gordon-scrawled cover figure art of Thurston Moore is dark, Lee Ranaldo 's back cover photo-collage and Catherine Ceresole 's crumpled-xeroxed images that adorned the inside are dark. It's an album that moves Sonic Youth forward from their first EP almost by devolving backwards into true ugly, lo-fi primitivity. The bare-boned arsenal of junkpile guitars and implementation of alternate tunings was growing, and so were the songs that matched the individual attributes of each instrument: certain ones groan and growl a specific way that the band started to realize itself could become the compositional germ of a song. Herein is the threshold of a new explosion of the band's creativity, replacing the comparatively cleaner buzz of the Sonic Youth EP with guitars that spew fractured, uglier chunks of sound everywhere, held down by menacing minimalist basslines and the brutal-yet-controlled metronomic drumming. While it's confrontationalism might have put off some critics, time has rewarded Confusion with a truly distinctive air and atmosphere in the Sonic discography, enough to have Moore declare it his fave along with the band's swan-song The Eternal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 1 - (She's in a) Bad Mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 2 - Protect Me You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 3 - Freezer Burn\/I Wanna Be Your Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 4 - Shaking Hell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 5 - Inhuman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 6 - The World Looks Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 7 - Confusion Is Next\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 8 - Making the Nature Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1, Track: 9 - Lee Is Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44296896020708,"sku":"GOOF22.1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/3443351.jpg?v=1756127505"},{"product_id":"bad-moon-rising-sonic-youth-lp","title":"Bad Moon Rising, Sonic Youth, LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP repressing including digital download that features the album plus four bonus tracks.

Their ethos of utilizing the roots of the Ramones, Television, VU, Stooges, and No Wave to shape their first decade now find the band in later years bullet-pointing fascination in AMM, MEV, improvised music, free jazz and other outer-limit\/organic refractions of traditional rock. While Sonic Youth's spontaneous-creation moments had long been showcased in their recordings, Peel Sessions, and live, SYR 2 sums up the band's state in 1997: rolling lots of tape, fine-tuning ideas and presenting great moments of exciting new directions, allowing deep-listener type fans to gain better insight into their sound process.

It's now issued for the first time officially under the band's auspices. \"The '85 shows were the second time the band appeared on UK soil, Brits now getting juiced to the mythos of the emerging guitar-slinging American independent underground; an art \/ punk band from NYC sporting casual attitudes and tees sporting Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, and Prince made some good press copy on top of their bludgeoning stage appearance. Paul Smith of the newly-founded Blast First label acted as an overseas diplomatic envoy for Sonic Youth through their SST years as well as issuing their classic 1988 Daydream Nation outside the USA. However the Smith-produced 'bootleg' of their '85 UK gigs surfaced much to everyone's surprise, just before EVOL was to be released. It turned out to be a marker of the group's dissatisfaction that ultimately led to the release's deletion, and the band and Smith parting ways after Daydream. \"In this 2LP set brimming with primitive classics like 'The Burning Spear,' 'Death Valley 69,' and 'I'm Insane' (uncredited on sleeve), segues and live guitar changes ooze together threaded by Madonna tapes and vocal loops off the board (somewhat a necessity for distraction until the band had a full fledged stage crew to prepare guitars). The first two sides of Walls are massive, cavernous, with newly-drafted drummer Steve Shelley. SY tear it up especially on one trash-fi excerpt of 'Blood On Brighton Beach' (actually 'Making The Nature Scene') from a legendary outdoor gig November 8th where [Thurston] Moore, [Kim] Gordon and [Lee] Ranaldo's guitars treble-blast dissonant shockwaves over the black-stoned beach of Quadrophenia fame. \"The record's second slab spotlights an April 1985 at London's Hammersmith Palais and was one of the final appearances live of Bob Bert on drums, again featuring some molten takes on 'Brother James,' 'Flower' (listed as 'The Word (E.V.O.L.)'), and others.
