Thurston Moore
Thurston Moore keeps his eggs in multiple artistic baskets. He’s kept one warm since the ’80s—along with co-pilot/wife Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo—with Sonic Youth’s experimental guitar-crunching against fascism. Moore has also directed music videos, organized festival events, and dabbled in all kinds of collaborations across the years—he’s even worked with Richard Hell. But only two albums attach exclusively to the Thurston Moore name: 1995’s Psychic Hearts and 2007’s Trees Outside The Academy. He tours in support of these lyrical-acoustic works with a band consisting of himself on guitar, vocals, and “noise,” Samara Lubelski on violin, and Steve Shelly on drums.
