Sonic Youth's second full-length LP, "Bad Moon Rising," was originally released on Homestead and Blast First in 1985. Its original eight-song tapestry of droning guitar feedback, distant, clattering percussion and sullen vocals, all held together with interstitial noise loops and shadowy haze, ambles through a long, dark night before the feverish "Death Valley '69," driven by runaway guitar riffs and a frantic Thurston Moore/Lydia Lunch vocal duet, pounds the capstone into place. Back in print on Goofin' Records.
