VIDEO : Thurston Moore Band in session at KEXP
This autumn, while crisscrossing America in support of 'The Best Day', the Thurston Moore Band (TM, James Sedwards, Deb Googe, Steve Shelley) stopped by Seattle's KEXP and recorded a 4-song session for the extremely well organized/popular broadcaster. Though I could provide you with links to all four of the individual songs, there's search engines for that kind of thing and besides, you wanna watch the whole thing.

VIDEO : Thurston Moore - "Speak To The Wild"
(if you're based in Germany, you can watch the video here)
Thurston Moore's new album, 'The Best Day' hits shelves throughout Europe today (North America tomorrow), touted yesterday by The Observer's Kitty Empire as "a madeleine of a record" ("both comforting and discomfiting, 'The Best Day' recalls prime Sonic Youth, when their tense experimental attitude dovetailed with often sour but instantly accessible pop melodies") and with that, here's a video for the monumental "Speak To The Wild", directed by Santiago Mostyn.
"I have the image of a character, a woman who could be a mother (slightly older, slightly wilder, like a silent Jenny Wilson) carrying a large and alien precious object into the forest and sequestering it there. It would be a narrative trajectory but with sublime interruptions – the cavity where she stashes the object filling with gold, painted figures following her through the trees, DIY-Kurosawa style." - Santiago Mostyn
The Thurston Moore Band will be in session later this afternoon on WNYC's "Soundcheck" ; listen here at 2pm eastern.

Thurston Moore Band announce UK & European tour
Photo by Phil Sharp
Following The Thurston Moore Band’s (James Sedwards of Nought - guitar, Deb Googe of My Bloody Valentine - bass and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth - drums) recent impromptu set at Café Oto in London, England, the group announce their first UK (& European) tour taking place soon after their dates in the US and Canada.
Uncut magazine were in attendance for the band's first show in London and had this to say about the live performance:
“The album – which is due out in October – is excellent, and these live versions are muscular and digressive. Great songs, and a sense that Moore has found fresh inspiration in N16 with his latest, formidable accomplices.”

Coming October 21 : Thurston Moore's 'The Best Day'
(photo by Phil Sharp)
On October 21, Matador will be releasing the latest solo album from Sonic Youth co-founder Thurston Moore, 'The Best Day'. Recorded in London with his new band --- featuring guitarist James Sedwards (Nøught), bassist Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine) and SY drummer Steve Shelley, 'The Best Day' is a staggeringly confident, expansive work, one that not only rivals much of Moore's past work, but also suggests his relocation to England has inspired a creative rebirth of sorts. Keep in mind, we're already dealing with one of the harder working, prolific characters in modern music, rock or otherwise.
(NOTE : viewers in Germany can click here)
