Hey Goo, What's New?

Reported by erun

Sonic Youth will take their sixteenth album, Murray Street, out on a tour, including a free concert at Central Park in the band's hometown of New York City. But you already know all about this because we already told you. What you may not know is that Murray Street and the tour are just two of several Sonic Youth projects on the burner this year, the band's twenty-first together (they're as old as I am!). The band has scored music for a pair of upcoming films, and is also planning to release a collaboration with French chanteuse Brititte Fontaine later this year on its SYR label. This fall, Sonic Youth's 1992 album Dirty will also be reissued with a bonus CD of rare material. The album will be the first in trio of reissues, with Daydream Nation and Goo to follow.
