Thurston Moore – a man who ages so well he could be named "the Dorian Gray of the NYC Scene" – is about to release a new solo album entitled "Demolished Thoughts" under Matador’s powerful wing. The mp3 available for download (embedded here) features a cleaner, acoustic-but-still-fuzzy version of the usual dissonant-ish guitars that are such a big part of the Sonic Youth sound, plus a welcome use of a string section, which adds an overall orchestral flavor. Quite interestingly, the new album will feature not only a bio written by Thurston himself, but also a series of particular guitar tunings everybody’s noise rock hero has been adopting during the songwriting process.
