“With Sonic Youth drifting into an unofficial, maybe-permanent hiatus, Thurston Moore has started a louder, younger rock band featuring Samara Lubelski and members of Hush Arbors and Sunburned Hand of the Man. Their self-titled debut is the heaviest, most dissonant music Moore's put together in recent memory.”
“Thurston Moore, the recently divorced Sonic Youth singer-guitarist, uses his new band to air some bathrobe-at-noon bitterness (“Sleeping Where I Fall,” “Lip”). But he’d rather torture his guitar than himself or his ex – a good thing, since he can say far more with molten noise jags and spiraling, convulsive solos than he can with mind-clearing Beat poetry like the seven-minute “Mohawk.””
