Chelsea Light Moving - Chelsea Light Moving

Review by J.R. Moores

While preserving his natural nonchalant charm, Thurston sounds more vigorous, bellicose, twitchy and forceful than he has in years.»

Buy now from:

matador release chelsea light moving's eponymous first full-length. chelsea light moving is the current group led by sonic youth founder thurston moore. he is the songwriter and plays over-amped hyper electric guitar and sings with raw-glam-destructo vocals. the band is a four piece featuring samara lubelski, who has played violin with tm on his last two solo lps ('demolished thoughts' and 'trees outside the academy') and with chelsea light moving plays deep psyche pop metal bass guitar. keith wood, who records under the aegis hush arbors, plays electric guitar with a pick forged from angel wing and john moloney, aka 'pegasus', approaches the drums like an asteroid hurtling toward earth. the first album was recorded in two spurious sessions with engineer justin pizzoferrato in sone lab, a killer studio in easthampton massachusetts.
