Courtesy of their label Matador, the Sonic Youth fanatics among us are treated to a handful of grainy in studio photos, an offer to buy the album early and most importantly a taste of what Thurston and co. have cooked up on “The Eternal” their 16th studio album.
Says Matador: “As announced previously, the new Sonic Youth double LP/CD/digital album, †The Eternal’ is coming out on June 9 (link to original album announcement) . However, the album will be available to those taking part in Matador’s Buy Early Get Now campaign on April 28.
Along with your preorder of †The Eternal’ on LP or CD, you’ll get an instant stream of the album, and later (either picking it up at your fave local record store or through the auspices of the U.S. Postal Service) a bonus limited edition live LP* culled from Sonic Youth’s July 4, 2008 show in Battery Park, which will contain an exclusive poster. Additional MP3’s will be delivered via the BEGN site before or after the album’s physical release date (June 9).”
