Sonic Youth The Eternal Review
Review date: 12.06.2009

Art-punk icons Sonic Youth are one of the hubs of indy rock, having influenced and been influenced by just about everyone you’ve ever heard of, and on their excellent fifteenth album you can enjoyably split your time between identifying the familiar sounds you’re hearing whilst working out which lesser bands will be first to borrow from this album.
With their customarily mistuned guitars, clever brand of sexy and esoteric lyricism and lengthy, driving guitar solos, Sonic Youth sound as good as ever, putting their own distinctive twist on everything, and while many bands will try to copy them, Sonic Youth still have that certain something that makes them inimitable.
