Silver Session

here is what thurston moore said in 1998....silver sessions was taken from an evening when sonic youth had to do vocal overdubs for a thousand leaves - a band upstairs was hammering out some funky metal overdrive and we couldn't 'sing' properly. we decided to fight fire with molten lava and turned every amp we owned on to 10+ and leaned as many guitars and basses we could plug in against them and they roared and howled like airplanes burning over the pacific - we could only enter the playing room with hands pressed hard against our ears and even then it was physically stunning. we ran a sick outmoded beatbox through the p.a. and it blew out horrendous distorted pulsations. of course we recorded the whole thing and a few months later we mixed it down into sections, ultra-processing it to a wholly other 'piece' in a way, it's my favorite record of ours i hope jason digs it. keep on keep on keep on.
