Chelsea Light Moving is the new band from Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, recently named the #1 Guitarist Of All Time by Spin. Featuring the backing talents of Keith Wood on guitar, Samara Lubelskion bass and John Moloney on drums ; the same band from Thurston's last solo album Demolished Thoughts -- but this time it hits hard with rock n roll noise. The man himself describes the tracksas "chug and shred burners," and they hit the usual mind-blowing variety of rock-historical reference points and the primal clatter Thurston's pioneered for over two decades.
