Yokokimthurston

What we have here is a New York City avant garde convergence at its finest. The idea of a meeting between Yoko Ono, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore is so perfect, so obvious, the only shock is that it didn t happen earlier. Recorded last year at Manhattan s Sear Sound, the album features lead vocals by Yoko, with backing vocals and guitars by Kim and Thurston. It s a wild collision of song-form, poetics, free-rock and classic glossolalic ecstasy. Yoko has not allowed herself to sound this raw since the earliest recordings of the Plastic Ono Band. There s a remarkably empathic and comfortable quality to the sound. The three communicate as though they d been playing together forever.
