Limited vinyl LP pressing. NYC Ghosts & Flowers, the band's 11th studio album, represented a slight stylistic departure, mainly as a creative reaction to the theft of their instruments while on tour the summer before. Instead of using the gear they were intimately familiar with, they unearthed instruments in their studio they hadn't used in years, resulting in a flood of new inspiration. Salon insisted the album Inchhas a gloomy, unaccommodating tenacity that's hard to shake,Inch while Chicago Tribune critic Greg Kot raved, InchThese noise-rock renegades are once again happily viewing their guitars as hunks of wood, wire and infinite possibility... No rock band makes the avant-garde sound quite this tactile and sensual.Inch Sonic Youth formed in 1981. Founding members Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) remained together for the entire history of the band, while Steve Shelley (drums) followed a series of short-term drummers in 1985, and rounded out the core line-up. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than it's specific sound.

Gatefold 2LP (black) with padded inner sleeves, inlay and protection sleeve. The old Icelandic word 'Útiseta' means the practice of sitting out in the open air, possibly at a significant site for a magical purpose. THURNIN mastermind Jurre Timmer interprets this numinous act as a way to commune with nature, to find peace, and to gain spiritual wisdom in a time of introspection and transcendence. The Dutch acoustic music progeny has spent years in a contemplative mode to create his sophomore full-length entitled InchÚtisetaInch and a collection of poetry to stand alongside the album. Very much feeling like a natural progression from the debut album InchMenhirInch, Timmer is adding dashes of vocal colour and flute to the acoustic guitars on InchÚtisetaInch. While THURNIN remains tied to the world of dreams and visions that take the listener to otherwordly realms filled with magical wonders, InchÚtisetaInch offers richer textures, and a more matured and warmer sound. Little was known about THURNIN when the mysterious Dutch solo-project of mastermind and sole musician Jurre Timmer emerged with the dark folk debut full-length InchMenhirInch in 2021. Before THURNIN, Timmer had released an album with his death doom project I, FORLORN. He also created 2 albums and 2 EPs for a project under the name of ALGOS. When InchMenhirInch found it's way from Timmer's home studio in the town of Soest by the Dutch city of Amersfoort, the album became an instant hit on YouTube that has long passed the milestone of 1 million views. Now THURNIN's eagerly awaited follow-up album InchÚtisetaInch is ready to embark on a journey around the globe. Find yourself an ancient burial mound, a sacred well, or a grove in a forest, and sit on the ground listening to the new songs. InchÚtisetaInch will send you the most beautiful visions from the dream-world.
