Sonic Youth have begun work on their follow-up to 2006's Rather Ripped. Here is a statement from guitarist/vocalist Thurston Moore in regard to the forthcoming album and new label after fulfilling their contract with Geffen Records:
There’s one label we are certainly going to go with at this point. But I don’t think I’m allowed to disclose that right now. I don’t want to risk having a shit storm...I’ve written a half-dozen song ideas. I try not to complete them so much. Last time we got together, we were creating sort of new band-zone-vibe sort of things...The last four or five records we did were just so compromised by that [major label] situation. But that’s the way it goes.
