CHELSEA LIGHT MOVING

Thurston Moore’s on the rebound. And as with all the best rebounds, he’s looking for a bigger-titted, younger, looser model.
The split from his Sonic Youth wife Kim Gordon has presumably put an end to three decades of No Wave rock royalty, so he’s gathered a new gang and strutted out to revisit the screech-guitar, stoner-hardcore realm where he started his empire-building.
That a 54-year-old can still pull off the Beat poetry-dissonant thrash combination in an era of trouser-press production values makes Moore’s return to a single life all the more exciting. This is a raw – and at times, nasty – stripped-bare return to this Sonic’s youth.
