Short intro

NYC Ghosts & Flowers is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Sonic Youth, released on May 16, 2000 by DGC Records. The highly experimental album is considered to be a reaction to the theft of the band's instruments in July 1999, when several irreplaceable guitars and effects pedals were stolen. NYC Ghosts & Flowers was the first album since Bad Moon Rising in which the band used prepared guitar. However, landmarks like NYC Ghosts & Flowers refocus our dislike with greater alacrity. Sonic Youth's umpteenth album wads everything we hate about New York into one convenient tissue. The only thing missing is the Mets. Sonic Youth remind us that white New Yorkers still grow soul-patches and goatees, wear berets and Rastafarian caps, dine on grilled tofu in an emulsification of goat butter and kumquat, and watch Dutch documentaries about fisting, thinking it's original, intellectual, or influential. These 40 year olds continue to operate under the perception that they matter. Album 2000 8 Songs. NYC Ghosts & Flowers Sonic Youth. Youth - NYC Ghosts & Flowers 2000. To favorites 1 Download album.

Sure, you could say that NYC Ghosts & Flowers is the group's best record since Daydream Nation-what's a new Sonic Youth album without such an assessment-but to do so would deprive them of their greatest achievement. No longer fashionable or influential, Sonic Youth persist in the strength of their own passions. NYC Ghosts & Flowers.

UMG от лица компании Geffen LatinAutor, AMRA, Kobalt Music Publishing и другие авторские общества 2. NYC Ghosts & Flowers is a 2000 album by Sonic Youth. The album was a slight departure, mainly as a creative reaction to the theft of their instruments in July 1999. Irreplaceable guitars and effects pedals with numerous modifications were stolen. It is also the first Sonic Youth album to extensively use prepared guitar since 1985's Bad Moon Rising, most notably on Small Flowers Crack Concrete a file inserted over the neck pickup and Lightnin' a bike horn wedged under the strings. It is also considered to be the album on which the influence of beat poet. Complete your Sonic Youth ghosts & flowers. Your Score. 0 out of 10.
