Sonic Youth will be appearing on a new comp related to the Bad Bonn Kilbi Festival. The SY cut is a performance of the song No Way which takes a turn for the weird when the band’s guitar amps overwhelm the available electrical power. The album is now available for preorder.
According to the three:four records site: “Each track is previously unreleased or rare. Sonic Youth’s contribution was recorded at the 2009 kilbi, the annual Bad Bonn’s festival. If you ever wanted to know how the band sounds without guitars, you have to hear this. As you might guess, we are pretty excited! And we hope you are too. It will come in a lovely black and white cover with a scissors cut made by Jad Fair (click here to see it). As usual, it will be a one-time pressing in limited edition. This time, it is 650 copies only. We still have a lot of work to do on this record, even if the master and artwork steps are over. So, as you might have noticed with the record’s name, it will be released around the second week of February. Sorry, it won’t come under your Christmas tree! We will have around 100 copies available for pre-order on January. We will also put two songs on our myspace page and on the website soon. Stay tuned not to miss anything!”
