About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

EVOL was a major leap forward for Sonic Youth, but Sister is a masterpiece, demonstrating the group's rapidly evolving musicality. More than ever before, Sonic Youth's songs sound like actual songs, and their collages of noise, distortion, and alternate tunings are now used to provide texture and depth to the music, which is original, complex, and rewarding. Not only is there the full-throttle roar of "Tuff Gnarl," but there are shimmering layers of ambient harmonics and dissonance that are as haunting and challenging as any of their barrages of feedback. Furthermore, Sister has a warm sound, which lures the listeners into music that's defiantly arty but never indulgent. It's one of the singular art rock records of the '80s, surpassed only by Sonic Youth's next album, Daydream Nation. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

September 08, 2008: Sister is often hyped as one of the best Sonic Youth albums, if not the best of all. However, this is one indie rock album that lives up to all the praise and then some. It's a perfect place for a new fan to start and a record seasoned fans will return to time and time again. Sister grew on me gradually and I now must admit I am among the many who would list this first when mentioning the band's best work. Daydream Nation may be more sprawling, but it's hard to beat a record this concise, tight, well-paced and perfectly representative of Sonic Youth. Highly recommended for all fans casual and hardcore alike.
