Biography

Sonic Youth, which initially comprised guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer [a=Glenn Branca]. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and recorded 15 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time. This view has been added to by the strength of their record "Sonic Nurse", which also featured the talents of Jim O'Rourke. O'Rourke left the band in 2005. In 2006, Mark Ibold joined the group. In September 2011, Sonic Youth went on "indefinite hiatus" following the separation of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore (the couple had been married since 1984). First group studio was [l265864] in New York City, after that [l328958] located in Hoboken, New Jersey.

LYRICS

[Kim]
let me introduce you
since you saw my shadow self
living underneath you
she can't resist a tickle out
i'm a girl scout
searching for the new stuff

did i mention that it melts away(allgone)
she puts a sign out
out of order (a want a building that says)
makes you strongly disobey
guiding you away
chiding you away

so quick to hide when i turn around
she will rise just to embarrass me
she likes to dance when it's dark inside
just a flashlight there
for a guide
try and catch me if you can
free and wild
watch where you stand
below the net
desire it grows and grows
like a strawberry not a rose
prickly patch don't you stand on me
squishing down
in the mud ahh!
