Sonic Youth will begin work on a new studio album soon, with a release date tentatively pencilled in for early 2009.
Speaking after a show in New York on Friday night, Thurston Moore told NME.com that while the band have been keeping out of each other’s way of late, they will reconvene soon to begin work on studio album 16:
“We haven’t gotten together in about four months,” said Moore.
“We’ve been taking a nice sort of break, which is good. I’ve been actually able to escape into the basement. We’re going to Australia next week for about two weeks then we’ll come back and start writing.”
Thurston will be in Austin, Texas at South By South West next month with Awesome Color, Tall Firs and Kevin Shields; all acts from his Ecstatic Peace label.

Does the world really need ANOTHER Sonic Youth album???!!!
Maybe not
But I do.
me too
Rather Ripped was rather good.
OF
COURSE IT DOES!
IT NEEDS A MILLION MORE!
yes we need another one
they've been on a roll since Washing Machine, only NYC Ghosts was a dip in form and even that had its moments
Murray Street is as great as anything from the olden days
:o)
i am a massive fan of Murray Street, but know very few others that are.
rain on tin is super choice!
still they are never going to top Sister or Evol, however their last 2 studio records are individually so much better than most careers!
i should say so!
:o)
Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!!!! this has made me happy : )
super
Duper
cannot
wait for this
Oh well...
obviously just me! I lost 'em around Washing Machine period.
I heartily recommend Nurse
It's quite possibly one of their top 3 albums ever. If not THE best album.
