4 Tunna Brix

Four tracks of jagged, reverent post-punk recorded for John Peel. Sonic Youth filters the cynical wit of The Fall through their own wall of Manhattan noise.

May 1990 · Goofin' Records

The sound of two underground worlds colliding. It's the motorik, repetitive drive of Manchester's The Fall reimagined through the dissonant, art-damaged lens of New York's Sonic Youth. This isn't a polished studio effort; it's a raw, immediate capture of a band paying tribute to their heroes by making the songs their own. The guitars are sharp and metallic, lacking the lush textures of Daydream Nation in favor of a punchy, rhythmic aggression.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the frantic, repetitive guitar scratch on 'Victoria' that captures the original's bounce with added grit.
Kim Gordon's detached, cool delivery on 'The Aphid' which transforms the track into something distinctly No Wave.
The moment the feedback swells during 'Rowche Rumble' before the band locks back into the driving, mechanical beat.
