Another candidate for record of the year 2011. Sonic Youth return with what will come, over time, to be considered a masterpiece - and it's a soundtrack album, go figure. Simon Werner A Disparu is the soundtrack to a French film. It's all instrumental. It touches back to the Sonic Youth roots in a grungy at times, trippy, experimental vibe, but looks forward too, in it's soundscapes and textures that in some ways place Sonic Youth in the camp of bands like Pelican, Red Sparowes and other instrumental rock sound painters, although nothing here can remotely be considered metallic. There is a lot of melody, an intricacy and sentiment at the heart of this great music. Guitar is often at the fore, although there is piano at times also, and the textures of the rhythm section are hypnotic.
The vinyl, no doubt digitally sourced, is quiet and sounds fantastic. A five doobie experience to be sure. Highly recommended.
