Bad Moon Rising Vinyl LP

1985 sophomore album, back in print! Features \’Death Valley \’69\’ with Lydia Lunch. Sonic Youth\’s second full-length LP \’Bad Moon Rising\’ was originally released on Homestead and Blast First in 1985. The album is a fascinating examination of \”the junction where hippie idealism [meets] the cold hard world,\” says guitarist Lee Ranaldo, \”where Woodstock [meets] Altamont – Death Valley, Charles Manson, Brian Wilson, musicians, murderers, heroes and villains.\” Its original eight-song tapestry of droning guitar feedback, distant clattering percussion, and sullen vocals, all held together with interstitial noise loops and shadowy haze, ambles through a long, dark night before the feverish \’Death Valley \’69,\’ driven by runaway guitar riffs and a frantic Thurston Moore / Lydia Lunch vocal duet, pounds the capstone into place.
