Thurston Moore Releases New Single 'New in Town'

Thurston Moore, co-founder of Sonic Youth, has released a new single titled "New in Town" on his 66th birthday, from his forthcoming album, Flow Critical Lucidity, set to drop on September 20. The song is characterized as experimental and percussion-heavy, exploring themes of youthful potential and change within communities, drawing inspiration from 1980s punk and hardcore bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi. Moore describes the track as reflecting the spirit of youth and a rejection of adult expectations, symbolized by the 'new kid in school.' In addition to this release, he has upcoming performances, including an album launch party in London and appearances at festivals. The album will also feature previously released tracks such as "Sans Limites" and "Rewilding." Moore continues to engage with fans through live events, including readings from his memoir, Sonic Life.
