Description

....ABSOLUTELY MINT and pristine copy of Sonic Youth's 1983 Confusion is Sex on NEUTRAL RECORDS, ORIGINAL PRESSING with insert....selling for $350 elsewhere....abrasive....archaic....theatrical soundscapes....confrontational....Confusion Is Sex marks the opening strides that Sonic Youth made during their long slog through the American underground scene of the '80s.....while the instruments are your traditional guitar-bass-drums-vocals lineup, they are performed most untraditionally....a spellbinding listen, especially the first time through....a cornerstone of Sonic Youth's career....the 'No-Wave' influence is strong on this record, especially on "Shaking Hell" and the title track....3rd track "Freezer Burn" kinda degenerates into a noisy cover of the Stooges classic "I Wanna Be Your Dog"....Kim howls "Lose my heart on the burnin' sand" over and over....awesome....."She's In A Bad Mood" has more of a 80's post-punk sound ala The Swans....if you love all those No-Wave noise acts like Mars and DNA, you'll no doubt get into this....perfect listening when you're in the right (bad) mood....
