{"product_id":"sonic-youth-sister-lp","title":"Sonic Youth - Sister LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe blunt, chaotic sound of \u003c\/span\u003eSonic Youth\u003cspan\u003e's visionary but difficult early work had begun to give way to a more coherent and song-oriented attack on 1986's \u003c\/span\u003eEVOL\u003cspan\u003e, and with 1987's \u003c\/span\u003eSister\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003eSonic Youth\u003cspan\u003e revealed that they were a great rock band as well as a great art band. From the shifting dynamics and disquieting mood of the opening track \"Schizophrenia\" to the ferocious coda of \"White Cross,\" \u003c\/span\u003eSister\u003cspan\u003e was the work of a band that had grown impressively stronger and more unified in the 12 months since their previous long-player. The sheets of sound that issued from \u003c\/span\u003eThurston Moore\u003cspan\u003e and Lee Renaldo's re-tuned and modified guitars were still the core of their sound, but \u003c\/span\u003eSonic Youth\u003cspan\u003e's songcraft was steadily improving as they made better and more effective use of their aural palette and created a melodic context that helped their noisy report make greater dramatic sense. After going through a handful of drummers, \u003c\/span\u003eSteve Shelley\u003cspan\u003e finally gave \u003c\/span\u003eSonic Youth\u003cspan\u003e the combination of chops, imagination, and force that they needed behind the kit, and while he certainly improved \u003c\/span\u003eEVOL\u003cspan\u003e (his debut with the group), it was \u003c\/span\u003eSister\u003cspan\u003e where he truly make his mark: the steady pulse and rhythmic shadings of \"Catholic Block,\" \"Stereo Sanctity,\" and \"Tuff Gnarl\" helped firm up the tunes and added some discipline to \u003c\/span\u003eMoore\u003cspan\u003e and Renaldo's exploratory guitar work that, remarkably, made their twisted instrumental figures more impressive and no less distinctive. And the warmth and clarity of \u003c\/span\u003eBill Titus\u003cspan\u003e' all-analog engineering made the guitars (and \u003c\/span\u003eKim Gordon\u003cspan\u003e's bass) sound as glorious as they always deserved; while \u003c\/span\u003eSonic Youth\u003cspan\u003e had been a band with great ideas from the start, \u003c\/span\u003eSister\u003cspan\u003e was where the execution finally caught up with the concept, and it was their first truly great album. -All Music Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goofin' Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67866313490623,"sku":"rjh1793832030274","price":15.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/4541\/1775\/files\/sonic-youth---sister-lp_1.jpg?v=1793832035","url":"https:\/\/katebrightpicks.shop\/products\/sonic-youth-sister-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
