Sonic Youth

Evol

Format: LP

Record Label: Goofin'

Condition: New

  • Reissue on the band's own label - includes a digital download code with the bonus track "Bubblegum" - originally released in 1986
  • The third studio album by Sonic Youth, originally released on SST Records, shows the first signs that the band was ready to transform their no wave past into a greater alternative rock sensibility. "Evol … marks the true departure point of Sonic Youth's musical evolution," says Pitchfork, who place the album in the #31 slot of their Top 100 Albums of The 1980s. "In measured increments, Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo … bring form to the formless, tune to the tuneless, and with the help of Steve Shelley’s drums…, impose melody and composition on their trademark dissonance." Stereogum likewise praises the album as one that is "full of suspense…, the cornerstone of the Sonic Youth sound…, ground zero for the combination of chiming guitars and atonal skronk… [and] muggy delirium…. The virile "Tom Violence" sounds less written than coaxed from a cauldron, the sort of song that fogs windows. The off-kilter droning love song "Starpower"… is sung by Kim Gordon in a frosty Nico-evoking monotone. "In The Kingdom #19," featuring Mike Watt on bass and… vocals by Lee Ranaldo…, is a harrowing story of a highway wreck over a suitably edgy instrumental backing punctuated by… live firecrackers into the vocal booth." "Evol slithers into the unconscious," notes Popstache. "Once the detuned melodies and haunting riffs and final whispers of feedback [of "Expressway To Yr. Skull" depart from the speakers…, the music leaves a faded footprint, forever reeling the listener back for another strange trip."
  • Track Listing: Tom Violence / Shadow Of A Doubt / Star Power / In The Kingdom #19 / Green Light / Death To Our Friends / Secret Girl / Marilyn Moore / Madonna, Sean And Me
