Music Weekly: Week 29: Sonic Youth: "Simon Werner A Disparu"
Part of the reason I've fallen a bit behind with posting weekly is that I bought this Sonic Youth album, part of their self-published SYR series of typically more experimental stuff, and have not really got round to trying to give it a proper listen. I'm not sure I've really done that now, but it's probably time to move on.
The album is the outgrowth of a soundtrack to the film of the same name (apparently released as "Lights Out" outside France), but reworked in the studio into longer songs. It's instrumental, and atmospheric. Rather like the Broadcast and the Focus Group album I listened to earlier in the year, it okay to have it on in the background and occasionally grabbed by what's going on, but probably better to concentrate to. Perhaps I'll find time to do that...
