Sonic Youth 'The Eternal' Grade: A- First, the past: With nearly 20 years on a major label behind them, Sonic Youth has headed over to indie titan Matador Records.

In a recent interview, veteran musician Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth had some comments for the donation-based model popularized (but not invented) by Radiohead for the release of their album, In Rainbows in 2007. In a Guardian interview, Gordon offered ...

Among the highlights are the Thurston Moore-sung ballad “Antenna,” Kim Gordon's catchy “Malibu Gas Station” and “Walkin' Blues,” perhaps guitarist Lee Renaldo's best song in years. In Rolling Stone's four-star review of Sonic Youth's latest, ...

This album is a celebration of newfound freedom," Thurston Moore has said. "Releasing this album with our friends at Matador feels like liberation, which inspired us during the recording process." Never mind that Sonic Youth always has posited itself ...
