Thurston Moore - "Telegraph"

No matter how much we might love Sonic Youth and/or Thurston Moore, some of his music can be more... challenging of a listen. The man recently released a three disc nearly three hour album of experimental noise. Not exactly a fun listen. His latest release (a song shorter than four minutes!) dates back to his days with Chelsea Light Moving. As Thurston explains: 

"A song written in Seattle, Washington in 2014 on tour as Chelsea Light Moving. Originally performed on the great KEXP-FM as 'The Exstasie' with lyrics taken from a poem by John Donne (1572-1631) of the same name. Later re-mixed in London, UK with re-recorded vox + lyrics self-penned as a flashlight to the future of a planet in desperate need of love and rock n' soul activism. Chelsea Light Moving, though we made but one LP, was a sweet group and I'll always adore these cats, the memories of travel and dialogue and the times we spent making music and honest friendship. London had come a-calling and love was truly a-beckoning, and now we all stand as fighters for an Earth in need of natural respect and dignity."

Personally, this is what I truly want from Thurston Moore. It's loud, aggressive, and noisy, but it's still a song. Sure, I have no idea what his lyrics mean, but I never did. And that's not why we listen to Thurston Moore, anyway.
