Across his remarkable career, Thurston Moore has done almost nothing but surprise us. On new album Flow Critical Lucidity, the 66 year-old avant-garde guitarist proves there is still Youth in his Sonics, and still yet ways to keep us guessing. Featuring songs "inspired by nature, lucid dreaming, modern dance and Isadora Duncan", there are familiar elements here, but it all feels more beautifully crafted somehow. With a guest appearance from Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier. - Flying Out
The Daydream Library Series record label has confirmed Thurston’s new full length album Flow Critical Lucidity. The album will arrive in stores on September 20, 2024. Fans of Sonic Youth & Thurston Moore will be delighted to learn that all tracks from the album will be released via all streaming platforms, vinyl, compact disc & cassette.
Thurston Moore’s forthcoming album, Flow Critical Lucidity is his ninth solo recording. Some of the songs were written & arranged in Europe and The United Kingdom and include lyrical references to their environments and inspired by nature, lucid dreaming, modern dance and Isadora Duncan. The album was arranged at La Becque in Switzerland and recorded at Total Refreshment Studios in London in 2022, and mixed at Hermitage Studios in London with Margo Broom in 2023.
Flow Critical Lucidity comes from a lyric in the single Sans Limites and the album sleeve cover art features Jamie Nares’ Samurai Walkman — a helmet befitted with tuning forks. Jamie Nares (born in Great Britain) is a life long friend of Thurston Moore from his New York No Wave days and the two have often collaborated in art & music.
