# ***Sonic Youth Biography***
***Sonic Youth*** was an American rock band based in *New York City*, formed in 1981.
Founding members ***[Thurston Moore](
https://cutt.ly/AOmudDl)*** (guitar, vocals), ***[Kim Gordon](
https://cutt.ly/LOmujx4)*** (bass, vocals, guitar) and ***[Lee Ranaldo](
https://cutt.ly/GOmuz5Y)*** (guitar, vocals) remained together for the entire history of the band, while ***[Steve Shelley](
https://cutt.ly/OOmubhc)*** (drums) followed a series of short-term drummers in 1985, rounding out the core line-up.
***[Jim O'Rourke](
https://cutt.ly/eOmuRjF)*** (bass, keyboards, guitar) was also a member of the band from 1999 to 2005, and ***[Mark Ibold](
https://cutt.ly/bOmuPsq)*** (guitar, bass) was a member from 2006 to 2011.
***Sonic Youth*** emerged from the experimental *no wave* art and music scene in New York before evolving into a more conventional rock band.
Their inventive use of alternate tunings, dissonance, and feedback, which they combined with the intensity of *hardcore punk* and the performance art aesthetic of New York's *avant-garde*, created a new sonic landscape with an impact that lasted for decades.
> ***“Rather Ripped”*** the band’s fourteenth studio album was the band's first album following the departure of multi-instrumentalist ***[Jim O'Rourke](
https://cutt.ly/YOKdbpx)***, who had joined as a fifth member in 1999.
>
> Rock songs on the album are solid, but not amazing, actually, the more atmospheric songs end up being some of the most compelling. ***["Lights Out"](
https://cutt.ly/IO2MmPJ)*** reeks of whispery, late-night cool, and the closing track, ***["Or"](
https://cutt.ly/kO2MIa6)*** is one of the sparest and most oddly unsettling songs ***Sonic Youth*** has done in a while.
>
> If the album is a tiny bit disappointing, it's only because the band's playing outpaces their songwriting ever so slightly. It's a solidly good album, and if taken as part of a trio of albums with ***[“Sonic Nurse”](
https://cutt.ly/qO2L82k)*** and ***[“Murray Street”](
https://cutt.ly/oO2LMrj)***, it shows that ***SY*** is still in a comfortable yet creative groove, not a rut.
# ***The Song***
