Thurston Moore - Softcover

The comprehensive survey of the music of the singer-songwriter who introduced the world to alternative rock

As one of Sonic Youth’s founding members, Thurston Moore has been acknowledged as a crucial forefather of the alternative rock scene of the past thirty years. In addition to his songs with Sonic Youth, Moore has also created a substantial catalog of over 130 recordings spanning three decades. Thurston Moore is the first-ever survey of his entire body of work, which, until now, has been sorely neglected due the sheer scale, depth, and diversity of his recordings. Compiled with input by Moore himself, Thurston Moore combines detailed information on his music with oral history testimonies of his collaborators on each recording to provide brand-new insight into this crucial artist’s lifelong dedication to musical performance and exploration.  21 b/w & color images
