It’s been four decades since Thurston Moore embarked on a solo career, and since SONIC YOUTH went on indefinite hiatus in 2011 the stream of his albums has become rather steady, the singer’s last platter “Screen Time” released as fairly recently as 2021. Yet, apparently, it’s Thurston’s 1995 debut “Psychic Hearts” that’s his forthcoming offering “Flow Critical Lucidity” is most closely related to. To be issued on September 20th, this record reflects Moore’s fascination with reveries which became obvious on his band’s classic “Daydream Nation” back in the day.
The veteran took some time to realize this particular project that was done in 2022 and mixed the following year. The album’s memorable artwork, created by the musician’s old friend Jamie Nares – arguably, the best image to adorn a Thurston Moore record – is titled “Samurai Walkman” and feels perfect for the platter where such subjects reign supreme.
