2006, Volcanin Tongue
The Dream / Aktion Unit is a free-thinking avant garage Ur-kestra based around the central kernel of guitarist Thurston Moore, saxophonist Paul Flaherty and drummer Chris Corsano (Six Organs, Sunburned Hand of the Man, etc.), and featuring Heather Leigh Murray (Taurpis Tula, Charlambrides) on pedal steel and Matt Heyner (No-Neck) on upright bass. Originally birthed as a side-project of Sonic Youth to allow Thurston Moore and Jim O'Rourke to explore the outer regions of power blues, this new incarnation of the Dream/Aktion Unit has blown minds at their rare appearances, known to offer up "a non-stop gush of energy/ideas without resorting to base musical concerns like dialogue or key." Packaged in deluxe hard card gatefold sleeves with specially-commissioned eye-gouging artwork, this is the first ever document of "the collective thought of what is easily the cream of the subterranean cup."
