Sonic Youth - Sister LP

Sister feels like the linchpin of the Sonic Youth discography, an album that ties together the disparate strands of the band’s history. 

Here the Branca minimalism/guitar experimentalism and no wave clatter of the early years meets hardcore inflected immediacy and pop melodies/song structures of their later work, the American underbelly pop-mythology of Bad Moon Rising meets the sci-fi futurism of Daydream Nation and art world nods meet rock historiography. 

One of their best that I personally have neglected for too long!
