Title: Avant-Pop Experiments
Review: In their new trio of EPs, Sonic Youth seems to follow further the noise-scape experiments that they embarked on with "Diamond Sea" the closing track of Washing Machine. Of course, SY has always been relentless in pushing the boundaries of music into noise, but these new EPs, especially SYR2 (Slaapkamers), take on a very soft, dream-pop tone to the experimentation, more gentleness, less sarcasm and irony. Which isn't to say that they can't still make the most imposing Wall of Sound around. Truly the pop-music for a daydream generation...
