Description
At 0:12 in Teen Age Riot, the pick scrape flashes before the whole band avalanches in and you remember how they could make chaos feel precise. Sonic Youth’s Hits Are For Squares collects those moments across eras, from the slinky strut of Kool Thing to the once-unreleased Slow Revolution. Originally assembled in 2008 by a cast of admirers selecting favourites, it plays less like a standard best-of and more like a guided tour through their extremes. On this 2LP cut, space opens up between the guitars and the low end sits deeper, so the feedback swells breathe without smearing the groove. File it beside Pixies on your late-80s and 90s alt-rock shelf, where abrasion and melody keep trading places. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Sonic Youth records online with us. Ideal for a late drive out of Melbourne or a Sunday tidy, because the sequencing lets you push and pull the energy without skipping around. For specifics, cue Kool Thing for Kim’s deadpan bite, then jump to Slow Revolution to hear their mature pulse without the gloss.
Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
