NEWS : Sonic Youth chez Matador ...

Gerard Cosloy ( Responsable du label Matador) vient d'annoncer via leur Matablog (le blog de Matador pour ceux qui n'auraient pas compris ^^) la signature imminente de Sonic Youth, libéré de leur contrat avec Universal.

Cosloy y parle d'un accord sur la sortie du 16eme album du groupe pour 2009.

Via Matablog:

While Sonic Youth's status as one of the more innovative and influential bands of the past 30 years needs little explanation, the group's most recent recordings for Geffen -- 2006's Rather Ripped being their final for the label -- rank amongst the current decade's best.

For Matador, the opportunity to work in partnership with a group who've made such an profound impact on our roster/hometown/collective consciousness was one to jump at. Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley will commence recording the new Sonic Youth LP/CD this autumn and we look forward to sharing further details in the very near future.

Please check out sonicyouth.com for details about their many recent and upcoming pursuits, including the travelling museum exhibition Sonic Youth Etc.: Sensational Fix, which focuses on the multidisciplinary activities of the band since 1981, and the recently self-released CD Andre Side Af Sonic Youth.
