unlike any sax/ string collaboration ive ever heard. leigh and brötzmann never try to overpower one another, instead, collaborating as one and respecting one anothers prowess, with each leading the music at various points while leaving room for the input of the other. i do want to shout out leighs ability to create chaos with her pedal steel without resorting to amp distortion, its amazing. ronnie dion
Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat
