What a great album. I highly recommend this! Sonic Youth in folk / acoustic guitar style with majestic violins!
Cool, will get it in vinyl too, have it only as a "pre-listen digital album"….
"Needle hits black laquer"
Yeah good album! But I guess I like Trees Outside The Academy even more.
But songs like Circulation, Blood Never Lies and In Silver Rain With A Paper Key are great songs!

I guess one of the reasons may the that there aren't any drums on this album…at all. There are percussive bits here and there, but no real drumming. The absence of Steve is clear…
Nice songs tho! Thurston still got the touch.
I haven't heard "Trees Outside The Academy" yet but "Demolished Thoughts" is really turning into a favourite end-of-this-summer / day on the beach album. Benediction and Iluminine have grand melodies, as well as the last three songs, that I've not been able to seperate yet, just recognizing them as one flow of acoustic sounds and harmonies!
Very nice record I also think I love Trees even more. That record balances the thurstonness in such a goodway with noisenumbers and sweet sweet melodies. And J Mascis solos. His "first" solo LP Psychic hearts also is highy recommended
here´s a recording of a recent SY concert in NYC. Excellent setlist, and psychic hearts* as encore
(*the song, not the whole record)
