RELEASE DATE
6/17/2016
2021 repress; LP version. "The slow-burn sounds of Sonic Youth's 1986 rehearsals to score Ken Friedman's spooky highway film
Made In USA
are yet another mile marker in the band's long and varied existence, now being issued as
Spinhead Sessions
(named for the North Hollywood studio used by SST label acts like Black Flag and Painted Willie). These jams were later built upon for a full-on (and quite different) soundtrack production, but the rough sketches here find the band taking time with truly new and introspective sound worlds. It was basically a brand new way of working for Sonic Youth, albeit a challenging one, under the auspices of major Hollywood film production overlords, routing their way into the world of soundtrack scoring. And it all comes at a key time and place. This newly born
Spinhead Sessions
release once again defines Sonic Youth in a raw and engaging state of discovery at a terrific time. Is it a missing link between the complex, crafted cavernosity of
EVOL
and the frayed-electric powerline sizzle of
Sister
? Yes and no. It's an entirely unique animal, a meditative album where you can soak in the template of tapping overtones, sedate explorations of new chords, even sounding at times like AMM trying to play the VU's Sweet Sister Ray bootleg or something similar. It's trademark Sonic Youth at the core, and in an unfettered, dreamy state and time, there and gone like smoke."
