"Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo has said that the band&amp;#039;s future is &amp;quot;up in the air&amp;quot;.  Rumours of a split arose last year when members Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore announced their separation after 27 years of marriage.  Speaking to Spinner, Ranaldo said: &amp;quot;[Our future] is up in the air. We&amp;#039;re taking a much-needed break and leaving it at that.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not saying anything final, but we&amp;#039;re not discussing anything for the future either. We&amp;#039;re just letting it be.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;Our lives and careers are so intertwined that, even if nothing is happening as far as new recordings and new performances, we&amp;#039;ll be tied to each other.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve had an amazing 30-year run. We&amp;#039;ll see what the future holds.&amp;quot; Sonic Youth&amp;#039;s last studio album was 2009&amp;#039;s The Eternal. Ranaldo previously hinted that the band might have &amp;quot;run its course&amp;quot; in November last year. He released his ninth solo LP Between The Times And The Tides last month.
